EASY CRAWFISH BISQUE



Easy Crawfish Bisque image

Very quick and easy recipe that is bouncing with flavor. It sounds like it might not be good with all the processed cans and cheese, but it's wonderful! I first had it as a very hearty soup that will have you going back for seconds. My husband and I often eat it as a sauce over rice or pasta since it's so rich and it makes it last a lot longer. If you can't find Cr of Onion soup use onion soup. My Mom adds 2 cans of sliced potatoes to the mix, I don't.

CRAWFISH BISQUE



Crawfish Bisque image

This is my Aunt TC's favorite soup, so you know I had to make it for her when I treated her and my mom to a day of pampering. I don't like to waste anything, so I use the crawfish shells to make a rich, flavorful broth for the base of the bisque. After one taste you'll realize it's worth the extra effort!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 6 3/4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 pounds fresh or frozen cooked crawfish, thawed
1 carrot, cut into large pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into large pieces
1 yellow onion, cut into large pieces
2 bay leaves
6 thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups Crawfish Stock
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup heavy cream
Reserved crawfish meat
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the crawfish stock: Remove the meat from the crawfish tails and set aside. Place the shells and heads in a large stockpot. Add water to cover. Add the carrot, celery, onion, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain, reserving the stock.
  • For the bisque: Melt the butter in the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, celery, onion, tomato, and Cajun seasoning and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and tomato paste and cook until bubbly and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in the crawfish stock and sherry and cook until it evaporates, about 1 minute. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the soup begins to thicken.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, use a standard blender and puree in batches. (Be sure to remove the lid cap to allow steam to escape.) Stir in the reserved crawfish meat and cook until heat through, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide the bisque between serving bowls and garnish with parsley, if desired.

CRAWFISH BISQUE



CRAWFISH BISQUE image

Categories     Shellfish     Fry     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Stuffing/Dressing     Raw

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups onions, diced
1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato sauce
3 qt crawfish stock (any seafood stock or a vegetable stock with a seafood "base" can be substituted)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 lb Louisiana crawfish tails
1 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
your favorite hot sauce
steamed white rice

Steps:

  • In a heavy 6 to 8 quart pot or cast-iron Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, stirring constantly until dark brown roux is achieved. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté these vegetables until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add tomato sauce and stir. Add stock gradually, stirring well to incorporate with the vegetables and roux. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne and stir. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using stuffed crawfish heads or boulettes, gently add into mixture, and simmer for another 15 minutes. Add crawfish tails, green onions and parsley, then stir, cover, simmer 5 more minutes. Adjust salt, black pepper and hot sauce to taste. Serve in a soup bowl over steamed white rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crawfish: Fresh crawfish will give your bisque the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crawfish, frozen crawfish will work, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcook the crawfish: Crawfish only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become tough and rubbery. Once the crawfish are pink and opaque, they are done cooking.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use for your bisque is important, as it will contribute a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a seafood stock or a chicken stock made with plenty of vegetables.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: Crawfish bisque is a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, and spices to create your own unique recipe.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Crawfish bisque is traditionally served with crusty bread or crackers, which can be used to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Crawfish bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, crawfish bisque is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a seafood soup to try, give crawfish bisque a try. You won't be disappointed!
