Bisque Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Base

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Adding Peppers and Broth

    Add the chopped roasted red peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Then, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Incorporating Shrimp and Saffron

    Add the shrimp and saffron threads to the pot. Simmer until the shrimp are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blending the Bisque

    Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

  5. 5

    Final Touches

    Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Allow to heat through for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
