Learn how to make Crock-Pot Seafood Bisque with this easy recipe. A gourmet soup featuring shrimp and crab in every bite!
Slow Cooker Seafood Bisque
I love a good bisque soup. This rich and creamy French soup features shrimp and crab in a rich and creamy broth that is seasoned just right with shallots, garlic, tomatoes, Old Bay seasoning and then enriched with a little white wine and cream.
Much like our Crock-Pot Lobster Bisque recipe this recipe FEELS super fancy and gourmet. But don’t let the idea of this soup fool you. It comes together rather quickly and the end result is fantastic!
You can opt to leave this creamy soup chunky or blend it into creamy perfection.
I like to pull out a cup or so of the cooked shrimp and crab meat, blend the rest and then add back in the seafood I pulled out. This gives me the best of both worlds…creamy soup with little bites of tender shrimp and crab.
To serve put out some crusty French bread, ladle the hot soup into bowls and if you want garnish your bowls with some parsley and a dollop of crème fraîche.
Ohh la la…perfection!
