A luxurious creamy soup that’s pure seafood comfort in a bowl!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup carrot, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1/2 lb cooked shrimp, chopped
1/2 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
1/2 lb lump crab meat
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
How to Make It:
Sauté the Veggies:
In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook 4–5 minutes until soft and fragrant. This base builds rich flavor depth right from the start.
Add Tomato & Flour:
Stir in tomato paste and flour to coat the veggies—cook for 2 minutes. This creates a velvety thickener for that signature bisque creaminess.
Deglaze & Simmer:
Slowly whisk in white wine and seafood stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, letting the flavors blend into restaurant-style richness.
Cream It Up:
Stir in heavy cream, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp, lobster, and crab. Let simmer for another 5 minutes until everything is warm and luxurious.
Serve with Style:
Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve with crusty bread. This silky seafood bisque is guaranteed to impress.
