Creamy Crab and Shrimp Seafood Bisque

To make this creamy seafood bisque, cook your vegetables in butter, stir in flour, then slowly add your broth and cream. Let it simmer until thick and flavorful. Add shrimp and crab meat just long enough for the shrimp to turn pink. Blend part of the soup if you like a smoother texture, then finish with a splash of brandy or sherry for that classic bisque taste. Serve hot with fresh parsley and crusty bread.

This seafood bisque is easy to customize. You can make it thicker by simmering longer, creamier by adding more heavy cream, or milder by skipping the cayenne pepper. Fresh seafood gives the best flavor, but frozen shrimp and crab also work great when prepared correctly.
