CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY
This is not a thick soup, yet it is creamy and so smooth to the palette. The aroma when cooking makes you want some before the potatoes are soft. I have made modifications due to allergy to corn (such as rice flour). I allow mine to slow-simmer with lid slightly ajar. Stir often so the film does not form on top. I have doubled my batch and still never have any for the freezer.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat will work, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's opaque and tender.
- Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the bisque, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables to the bisque, such as corn, peas, or carrots. You can also add different herbs and spices to taste.
- Serve the bisque hot with crusty bread or crackers. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Crab bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying soup that will please everyone at the table.
