    Directions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Step 1: Saute the vegetables<\/h3>\n

    \"DutchLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and mushrooms, sauteing for four to five minutes until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Step 2: Make the roux<\/h3>\n

    \"DutchLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Sprinkle in the flour, salt and pepper. Stir constantly until a roux forms. Add in the tomato paste and mix until fully incorporated. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Whisking continuously while adding the broth helps to prevent lumps and ensures a smooth bisque.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Step 3: Add the seafood<\/h3>\n

    \"DutchLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Reduce the heat to low and let the bisque base simmer for five minutes. Add the baby clams and shrimp and return the mixture to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes until the shrimp are opaque.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Step 4: Finish the bisque<\/h3>\n

    \"AddingLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Gently stir in the lump crabmeat and heavy cream. Heat until warmed through without bringing the bisque to a boil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Avoid boiling the bisque after adding the cream to prevent it from curdling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Step 5: Garnish and serve<\/h3>\n

    \"SeafoodLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    • Add some wine:<\/strong>\u00a0Add a splash of sherry or dry white wine when sauteing the vegetables to add an extra depth of flavor to the seafood bisque.<\/li>\n
    • Include more vegetables:<\/strong>\u00a0Add a cup of diced tomatoes or butternut squash.<\/li>\n
    • Use different toppings:<\/strong>\u00a0Garnish the seafood bisque with freshly chopped dill and chives. You can also crumble crispy bacon on top instead of green onions.<\/li>\n

      Seafood Bisque Tips<\/h2>\n

      \"SeafoodLeticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Can you use frozen seafood for this seafood bisque?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      You can easily use frozen shrimp, crab or clams in this seafood bisque recipe. The seafood should be fully thawed before being added to the pot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      How to prevent the seafood from overcooking?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      Adding your seafood in stages is key to keeping the seafood tender in the bisque. Start with the clams and then the shrimp. Finally, fold in the delicate crabmeat and warm until heated through.<\/p>\n

      \n

      What can you serve with seafood bisque?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      A\u00a0loaf of sourdough\u00a0or\u00a0oyster crackers\u00a0are the perfect sides for soaking up this creamy soup. Seafood bisque can also be paired with a simple\u00a0side salad\u00a0or a refreshing glass of\u00a0white wine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      How do you achieve a silky smooth seafood bisque?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
      \n

      Using an immersion blender to puree the vegetables and broth before adding in the seafood will lead to a velvety bisque base. You can also strain the bisque through a\u00a0fine-mesh sieve\u00a0for a silky texture before adding the seafood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
