Last Night’s Dinner — Crab Corn Bisque
I was in need of a little comfort food, and this is a family favorite. I altered the recipe a bit for my version on Sunday, but the recipe below is fantastic and really satisfying. Also, it isn’t unhealthy (shocking, I realize).
If you’re a vegetarian this is still delicious with vegetable stock and no crab.
Also it’s absolutely vital to have lots of delicious bread to dunk in this soup.
