Shifting into Soup Mode…

The first official day of fall is this Sunday!

If you know anything about me then you know I love soup and seafood. So, today I’m combining them both!

This recipe comes together rather quickly and really hits the spot when you’re wanting a hearty bisque without the guilt. Feel free to use whatever seafood you have for this dish. I just happened to have these on hand (minus the lobster, I did go buy him just for this).

what you do:

  1. Melt butter, and add onion, garlic, carrots, and bay leaf. Let them cook for maybe ten minutes or so until onions are translucent.

  2. Throw in the flour and cook another couple minutes.

  3. Add seafood stock, clam juice, oregano, diced tomatoes, and cream cheese. Let that simmer for around 30 minutes.

  4. Remove bay leaf and add to a blender. Once blended, return to your pot and add milk of your choice (you can add heavy cream here if you wanted to).

  5. Finally, add in any and all seafood you’d like to use. Let that simmer for about 10 minutes.

  6. Top with anything from some fresh Parmesan or fresh basil which is what I went with (it’s hard for me not to add basil to everything).

Don’t think there aren’t more soup recipes coming your way this spooky season! Haha!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!
