Great basic soup, and really easy. I decided that I wanted shrimp bisque and was able to make this with things on hand, with the exception of the shrimp and crab. I omitted the wine and bouillon. In place of the bouillon, I added about 1 oz of homemade chicken stock (1 ice cube). That added a little bit of depth to the flavor. I also used about 1 tsp of Old Bay and more onion. I was really pleased with the results, and it was a hit- even with my 3 and 1 year olds!

These were pretty good. I usually use the yellow box mix for convenience- hey, go easy, I have 2 under 2! I forgot I was out and needed a quick and easy recipe that didn't require separating eggs or creaming butter since my 2 yr old was already waiting. I only used 1.5tsp of sugar, and I added mini chocolate chips. They are pretty good. I find them to be just a little bit dense, but I might try whisking them next time to lighten up the batter a little. All in all, a great go to recipe.
