EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cooked shrimp works great in this recipe, too. Just add the shrimp to the bisque and simmer until heated through. If you use cooked shrimp, reserve 8 shrimp and tie a chive around each shrimp for an extra-special garnish.

As you dish up the soup, sprinkle chopped fresh basil leaves and a little freshly shredded Parmesan cheese on each serving.

I love, love, love this soup. I did a bit of variation with the proportions, but it came out really creamy and delicious. I am not a fan of fish (but I love seafood), but this was amazing.

This was great, even my 3 year old son ate it! I did 16oz of cod and added an 8oz package of imitation crab meat. Next time I wanna and corn for some crunch. Delicious!
