Creamy bisques are such an easy recipe to enjoy during the cooler seasons. Once you've gotten your favorite base down, it's a whole lot of fun experimenting different ingredients! This is one of my favorite combinations.
Cooking Tips
Have fun! Substitute ingredients with other flavors you love such as butternut squash for the sweet potatoes and shrimp for the crab. There's no wrong way to bisque.
Blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, wait for your mixture to cool and add it to a regular blender. You can do this in batches if your blender isn't big enough.
Save yourself time. The smaller you dice your sweet potatoes, the faster it cooks and the easier it is to blend.
