Simple Seafood Bisque ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #soup #recipe

Simple Seafood Bisque

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: About 1 quart of soup 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 2 cups (roughly half a recipe) of Chichi’s Seafood Enchilada sauce (recipe here)
  • 1 strip of bacon or 12 teaspoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 carrot (or 57 baby carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large stock of celery, chopped
  • 1 cup of chicken, fish or seafood broth
  • 1 can of crab meat
  • 2 cooked fillets of fish, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp (frozen is okay)
  • For the top: chopped green onions (just the tops)

Instructions

  1. First, prep the enchilada sauce and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, cook the bacon until crispy over medium heat. Remove the bacon from pan and chop into bits. If there is more than a teaspoon or two of fat in the pan, drain it out, then add the carrots and celery and saute for about 3 – 5 minutes to soften the celery.
  3. Stir in the sauce, broth, crab, fish, and shrimp and cook for about 5 – 10 minutes or just until everything is hot. Do not let the mixture come to a boil! (If the seafood is not pre-cooked, allow a little longer to allow the seafood to cook through.)
  4. Stir in the chopped bacon, top with some chopped green onion, then serve hot and enjoy … this bisque is really nice with some crusty cheesy garlic toast on the side. Just sayin’.
