Fab! used black pepper and it was tooo much. Minor adjustment and wonderful flavors. Did not use any alcohol, or cajun spice. Just old bay seasoning. We also did not add the whole milk. Just used the broth and cream.

Felt like I was sitting at an oceanside restaurant!!! I, and everyone else with whom I shared it with, loved it. This is one to add to your recipe book.

This soup is fantastic! Had company for dinner and serve this in sourdough bread bowls The only changes I made were..added extra of all the veggies and shrimp. Used red pepper instead of green and didn't peel the potatoes ,added a few dashes of red pepper flakes just because we like things spicy.

If you are looking for a thick, chunky chowder-like soup, this is not it. This is a very thin soup and is not that great for the time and money put into it. Bland and tastes like fattening half-and-half. Sorry! :(

I made this for my family last night and it was a disappointment. Sorry, but it really ended up tasting like straight cream with a little spice. My husband and I went back to double-check we added everything and we did. The crab wasn't cheap and it took a lot longer to make than expected. We ended up pouring it down the drain. :(

So... this recipe isn't cheap to make if you follow exactly and the prep time is way off (takes twice as long). I'm sorry but I really wanted to rate this well based on the previous reviews. I have been to Anthony's and Duke's (fine seafood restaurants) and they have had a corn, crab and bourbon bisque that is to die for and is very similar to each other. I have been searching and thought this recipe was similar. I followed this recipe EXACTLY and it ended up VERY bland. I didn't want to waste so much money with the crab, shrimp, etc. that I ended up going back to the store just to liven it up. I added more shrimp, creole, brandy, wine and even after all that, it still seemed bland that I put in a tablespoon of vanilla. After all that, it only tasted fair. I'm sorry but this is not worth the time and money (at least for me). :( I will keep searching.
