This was a great, easy recipe. On the advice of other reviewers, I added a little Old Bay seasoning and that made a good bisque great. The recipe didn't call for chopping the seafood but I did, as not doing so would make it kind of wierd. Next time I make this I will finely chop some of the shrimp/crab so it's not so broth vs. chunk.

I tweaked this recipe so much I'm not going to give an in-depth review, but I'll give it three stars as a good base recipe. The white wine was a lovely touch. If you find the wine taste too sharp let it boil down a little and add a pinch of sugar if you desire.

Very good recipe as written but I had to add a bit of cayenne to wake it up. Exceptionally easy to prepare and is ready to eat in minutes

This was simple and delicious! I doubled the recipe so I had some to freeze. I added some minced garlic to the onion, added a 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper, used half fat free half & half, and half regular, and used imitation crabmeat. Before adding the second half of half and half, I used my wand blender, and blended half of the recipe. This was terrific, and I will def. make it again. Thanks!

Added a little curry powder and cayenne, but I imagine quite good even without. Just as good the next day for lunch too. Yum!

I made it at 4 servings...for 4 people, but there wasn't enough for 4 people, so I made egg noodles with it and we put it over that. I also tried imitation crab...I won't do that again. We loved this recipe. Glad I found it.

Found it to be a very good soup. However, like most people are saying it was a little bland. I do plan on doing the recipe again. Next time, I am going to put either Old Bay or Tony Chachere's seasoning and a little paprika. That should give it the little extra kick it needs.

This was not a very flavorful bisque. I followed the recipe exactly (except that I used black instead of white pepper). Any suggestions on adding some more flavor?
