    Crab Bisque is a creamy, rich, decadent seafood soup enjoyed for centuries. It is a classic French dish for special occasions or a cosy night. The ingredients are simple, yet the flavours are complex and delicious. The combination of crab meat, butter, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, flour, white wine, chicken stock, cream, tomato puree, and seasonings such as parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and cayenne pepper create a savoury and intensely flavorful soup.
