Crawfish Bisque Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Roux

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a dark brown color, about 20-30 minutes.

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the roux. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids and Seasoning

    Gradually stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and tomato paste. Add the crawfish tails and cajun seasoning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
