Fabulous, homemade-tasting soup!! My husband and all attendees of our super bowl party loved it! Per the other reviews, I did half the amount of wine. Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful recipe.

Everything tasted fine until I added the wine. I only added less than 1 cup but it still was too strong...one of my guests took one sip and didn't want any more. I had to force myself to finish my half bowl. This recipe should be changed to add only 1/2 cup of wine.

I made this bisque using canned crabmeat, salad shrimp, and some canned clams. I also used half the amount of wine in the recipe. WOW!! It is a fabulous rich-tasting soup, like something from a fine seafood restaurant but so easy!! Tastes even better the nex day. Everyone loved it. Thanks!!!

Decent for a quick soup with a homemade taste. Rather salty, though, even after taking the advice of other reviewers and using low-sodium soups. I tried it as written and also with one can of a cream-based soup (usually cream of celery, just a personal preference) and a can of tomato soup. I might try it with a little tomato sauce rather than soup next time, to thin it out a bit -- a bisque should be creamy, as this is, but not quite as thick as mine came out. An interesting variation: use one small can each of crabmeat, clams, and baby (salad) shrimp for a seafood combination. If you're set on a crab soup, don't do it, but I enjoyed it.

This is a wonderful dish and it is just so easy to prepare. The ingrediants are easily obtainable too even in this part of asia. My boyfriend loves it.

Very nice, my family enjoyed it. The only change I'd make is: I only added 1 cup of wine, and I had to let it cook down a bit, as the aroma nearly knocked me and my fiance over. Other than that, it was a wonderful New Year's day dish!

This recipe is fantastic! I could not believe what a great tasting bisque this turned out to be because it was sooooo easy to make! The only thing I did a little differently, was to only put in 1 cup of wine and I did that only a couple minutes before serving. I will use this recipe very often.

Added 1/2 cup of wine along with the milk/cream and let that cook down a bit. Then added the other 1/2 cup of wine with the crab meat. It was perfect. This is a must keep in our house.

I love this recipe! I have made it for my family several times and my in-laws request it over and over. They love it. I double the amount of crab and add Old Bay seasoning.

I added extra crabmeat, but used the same amount of wine in the recipie. I thought it needed less wine. Next time, I'll use half. This is a nice easy soup when you don't have time to make it from scratch.
