Spicy Seafood Bisque

“This spicy soup, featuring shrimp, crabmeat and tomatoes, gets its zip from hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper. It's easy to prepare and dresses up any meal. Of all the recipes I've borrowed from my mom, this soup is the one that I've made most often. -Kevin Weeks North Palm Beach, Florida”

I made this soup according to the instructions minus the crab. The taste is wonderful and NOT too spicy. I think this would have benefited from the crab to add some dimension and consistency. This did not do enough to fill me up on its own...so make sure to have a side. Thumbs up.

I had a bag of crab in the fridge...after cleaning, it turned out to be about a pound and a half and another half pound of shrimp to boot. I threw it all in. This, of course, required an extra shot of worchestershire, another cup and a half of broth, and I added another couple shots of pepper sauce, a sprinkle of garlic, another bay leaf...just "upped" the important ingredients. At the end, I threw in a cup and a half of a milk/light cream/ half and half mixture. It was beautiful. It was ridiculously delicious. It was almost 12 cups. It was only 6 cups by the end of the night and we're only two skinny people. No fail. Most of this stuff is already in your kitchen.

This bisque must be eaten fresh and hot, not as good as leftovers.

This was pretty good, But I did change some things. I added 2Tbs of Sugar, half of the butter. Also next time I will try adding heavey cream... otherwise its a very good Bisque, Why I added sugar it kinda cut the acid and had more flavor, also instead of crab meat I used salad shrimp and scallops. I loved it this way and thats how my husband liked it.

I wish I could give it 4 1/2 stars. This was delicious! Very easy to prepare. I used vegi broth, fresh crab, and a different pasta type. It was a bit too spicy for my kids, so I just added about 2 more cups of tomato juice, and it was perfect! It didn't dilute the flavor at all. This is a keeper!
