Easy Seafood Bisque

Are you a seafood lover? This recipe for Easy Seafood Bisque has a fantastic flavor without spending hours in the kitchen!

Hey y’all, GOODe Ole Boy here!

Now my wife is not much of a seafood fan.  She digs the occasional peel and eat shrimp or maybe some Crab Alfredo from Red Lobster, but other than that she is more a meat and potatoes kinda gal.  I, however, am a HUGE lover of all things from the water.  I could give you a Bubba-esque resume of all the things I love to eat that swim in our waters.  That’s why today’s post is is all about seafood…and corn.

I love soups where seafood is in the headline and the more seafood, the GOODer!  One of my favorite dishes hails from Fulton’s Crab House in Downtown Disney.  They serve a Seafood Cioppino that is to die for!  I also love a good lobster bisque.  I figured I’d try my hand at marrying the two together, only not spending hours and hours cooking it up.  After some research  and some recipe development, I think I found a winner!  No making a roux or heavy cream needed.  Just a couple cans of soup and a few other simple ingredients… and a huge boat load of seafood!

Don’t be intimidated when I say that I use lobster in this dish.  Check your local store’s seafood section and I’ll bet you can find tails or even whole cooked lobsters for an extremely reasonable price!  Our local Kroger has whole, cooked lobster on sale all the time for around $6.  Our hometown IGA sells 2 tails for $9.  Either way that’s plenty of lobster for this dish when you add in all the other GOODies from the sea.

I had some leftover snow crab legs in the freezer as well as half a package of garlic and wine mussels from a previous failed attempt at seafood cioppino.  To save even more time you could just use a can of lump crab meat instead of cracking and separating the legs from their shells.  The garlic and wine mussels added just a bit more flavor with the garlic, so I highly recommend them.
