Crab Bisque

Crab Bisque
Crab bisque—is there anything more delicious (and nutritious) for dinner? I frequently pair this with fresh asparagus, or some steamed broccoli. Try garnishing the bisque with a pinch of tarragon or paprika, for even more taste.

Instructions
  1. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add the butter, melting it gently.
  2. Pour in the bone broth, then mix in the cream cheese, celery, crab, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, bell peppers, whipping cream, onion, and tomatoes. Close the lid, set the pressure release to Sealing, and select Manual/Pressure Cook. Set the Instant Pot to 3 minutes on low pressure and let cook.
  3. When cooking is complete, perform a quick release by carefully switching the pressure valve to Venting. For a smoother soup, briefly use an immersion blender, until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Remove the bisque, serve, and enjoy!

    This bisque was really easy to make, not that expensive, and was really good for the effort it required! Highly recommend!

    I loved this bisque flavor. I was very uncertain what frozen crab was(legs chunks whole crab???) i used imatation (and it was imatatiin lobster) which i knew was a mistake. We all loved it but the meat puffed up but was still good. Just wosh i knew what it was calling for….even tried to google it!

    Since crab meat is expensive I used a combination of real crab and imitation. It was a hit. I’ll definitely make this again.

    Excellent recipe! Although i think ended up with a little too much liquid… I would’ve preferred the bisque to be thicker. I will definitely be making this again.

    So good! Just personal preference-it was a bit spicey for us… next time I will use half of the Cayanne pepper.. overall great recipe!
