Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour until smooth, and cook and stir the mixture until it turns a pale golden color, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then mix in the half-and-half, salt, crawfish tails, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue whisking as soup comes to a simmer. Allow the bisque to simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Do not boil.

Well, no mudbugs around right now, but I used a smoked summer sausage, and added some green onions. Yummy. It was a hit with my girls! Will make this again. Not really a healthy conscience dish, but still awesome...

It's okay. Seafood stock should be used.

Outstanding. Hadn't eaten crawdad bisque since my dad died....he used to fix it when we were kids. Had to buy frozen precooked crawfish, it's too early in the year to catch them here (but ramps are up :). Only thing I changed was to half the onion, used stock from a gumbo, and adjusted seasoning to taste. Definitely a keeper, can't wait to try it with fresh crawdads.

Excellent - made as written and added an extra half pound of crawfish. Smooth, flavorful and you can control the heat. A definite keeper.

This was nice and creamy. Had only bought 16 oz of cream and just used that cuz I didn't have anymore. Came out ok. Also added celery by accident, thought it called for it. And no crawfish at my store, but used shrimp. This bisque was great and it's my first time having and making it Great job. I taste so gourmet!

Great recipe, I used "Better than Bouillon: Lobster Base" instead of chicken broth.

My husband and I tried this, and we liked it very much :) It was easy and tastey! Next time we will probably add some type of veggie, just for a little crunch. we also used milk because we had no cream, we think it turned out just fine. Once it was in the bowl we add just alittle cheese ... & served with toasted french bread! Def. a keeper!

Sounds yummy. I am planning on making it this weekend. I did add the recipe to my SparkPeople food so I can have it for the nutrition information when I log it. Thanks! I am rating it as a 5 at the moment.
