Rich, creamy, hearty and delicious, this Seafood Bisque is elegant enough for celebrations but also casual enough
for a family meal. It's easy to make and can be on the table in about 30 minutes!
It's finally really and truly starting to feel like fall here. The leaves have fallen off the trees and the temperature has started to drop. Mornings have been quite cool, a few of them there was even frost on the grass, but the afternoons still have been sunny and around 50 degrees. I can't complain too much! This type of weather has me clamoring for soup, especially after coming in from raking leaves and doing other outdoor work. There's no better way to take the chill off than enjoying a hot bowl of soup.
So what do you think? Are you ready to give this Seafood Bisque a try? I know all this talking about it is sure making me hungry! Good thing I have leftovers. 😍
