Shrimp, Corn & Crab Bisque image

One of the attorney's in our building makes this every year for the building Christmas party. Within an hour, the whole GIGANTIC batch that she makes is gone. She was nice enough to hand the recipe out this year and I'm posting so as NOT to lose it. It is THE BEST Shrimp, Corn & Crab Bisque that I have ever eaten. She brings it to the party in her crock pot to keep it warm. The added flavor comes from the shrimp stock so make sure you follow that direction closely.

This bisque was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This bisque was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less cream next time.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this bisque. The flavors were subtle and well-balanced, and the soup was not at all fishy. I would definitely make this again.
