Crab Bisque
This crab bisque is absolutely delicious! It reminds me of the crab bisques I used to devour at every opportunity in New Orleans, creamy, hearty and full of crab!
The coconut milk in this recipe adds to the creaminess and the hefty amount of crab meat ensure you have luscious chunks of crab in every bite.
As a starter, this bisque is a wonderful beginning to any meal, however, also hearty enough to completely satisfy as a full meal. The addition of the sautéed red bell peppers, onions, and garlic make the base of the soup wonderfully flavor while still allowing the divine crab to dominate the flavor profile. You absolutely must try this recipe!

- 1 lb lump crab meet
