Cooking Instructions
- 1
Saute onion and carrot in 2 Tablespoons of butter until soft. Set aside. (Can be done with cooking spray to reduce fat.)
- 2
In a large saucepan, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter and add flour, whisking constantly over medium heat until roux becomes light brown (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to burn!
- 3
Slowly add chicken broth, while whisking constantly.
- 4
Add onions and carrots, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- 5
Add cream, sherry, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer an additional 10 minutes. Add shredded imitation crab.
- 6
A note about the heavy cream. I only used half of the cream and added 1% milk for the other half cup. Always trying to lower fat content without ruining the recipe...it still tasted great!!
- 7
Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.

California Farm Seafood Bisque Soup California Farm Seafood Bisque Soup
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. Hobby Horseman -
