Hi Ann – Your so lucky you can get live blue crabs practically all year! I sure miss that. Your soup sounds wonderful.

I’m from MD but now live in the high desert of New Mexico. That’s not a bad thing as I can get live blue crabs practically year round along with fresh oysters, clams, and beautiful head-on shrimp! The other day I boiled some shrimp in Old Bay. After peeling the shrimp, I paced the heads and shells under the broiler with butter. I put them in the leftover shrimp boil and made a delicious stock. After straining, I added celery, onions, leeks, etc., much like your recipe. I never make this the same way twice. I had to cheat and use canned crab meat but it was fine. Also added some of the leftover shrimp. It’s a chilly day and hot soup is just what the doctor ordered! Lol! Thanks for this post! 😉

I remember those days and the swimming pool in your parents backyard. My Aunt Barbara’s family and mine and some other neighbors……Wow, great memories! I can’t wait to try this bisque. And I’ll have a side dish of nostalgia.

I made this Bisque with a very few changes for the party. I love Old Bay, cayenne, and cooking sherry. I bumped up those ingredients some to my tastes. I also made a double batch, as we were expecting about 15-20 guests. It didn’t even last 1 hour! I had a small cup before they arrived, but I wish I had a bowl of it! Anyway, my foodie friends said it was the best they ever had. I agree, best I ever had also!
Thanks Helena! YUM
