Simple and deliciously rich recipe! The seafood aroma is a defining characteristic of this bisque.

Prep time 30 minutes, cook time 45 minutes. Total time 1 hour 15 minutes.12-15 servings.

You can use Lobster or substitute with Crab. The cream sherry makes all the difference. This is better than any I have had in a restaurant.

I have been searching for a good lobster bisque recipe ever since having the most amazing lobster bisque at a local restaurant. After hours of searching, I finally decided to use a bunch of different recipes to create my own. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out very good.

My daughter originally asked me to make Lobster Bisque...not wanting to pay for lobster, just to go into a soup, I decided to make Crab Bisque using imitation crab meat.

Two lobster tails are good for two people but there is enough bisque leftover for one more bowl, so buy 3 lobster tails for 3 servings.

After your seafood meal, why not save your the lobster and shrimp heads in the freezer. You can make a very delicious lobster bisque with the remains😉#mycookbook#savory

This is the most cooking fun you will ever have with leftover lobster shells, crab shells, shrimp or prawn heads, tails and shells, or an inexpensive can of shrimp and a can of tuna. Once you have eaten and served this elegant soup, and liked it, you can use frozen shrimp and a piece of frozen white fish. You can use turmeric and dried sweet paprika powder instead of saffron to give your shrimp bisque the special color you want.

This is a great recipe for all occasions... winter, rainy nights, date nights or a relaxed night in!!! :excited

Needed to use some lobster stock.

Made this with leftovers on a whim. We are very critical eaters and thought it was so delicious we should post it. Vegetables can be swapped to use leftovers but definitely recommend the garnish but can be done without. Trust me and try it
