I've used this recipe for shrimp bisque for a couple of years. A couple of days ago I substituted crappie meat for the shrimp, and it came out awesome!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 pound crappie meat (You can add more meat for a heavier soup)
4 cans (10 3/4 ounces each ) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Shrimp Soup
4 soup can fulls of half and half - 1 quart + needed (For really rich soup you can sub 2 soup can fulls of cream and 2 soup cans full of 1/2 and 1/2 . *Warning* this adds 500 extra calories, but it’s amazing)
2 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
1 tbsp Garlic Powder (or to taste…I like more)
1 tbsp Onion Powder(or to taste…I like more)
1 tbsp Black Pepper(or to taste…I like more)


Optional:
Hot Sauce (I like to add just a bit for a little kick)


In a pan melt the ½ stick of butter and add the crappie meat. Cook crappie meat in butter until flaky and white throughout. Chop crappie meat into small pieces with spatula. In a separate soup pan, add in all other ingredients. Add chopped crappie meat into the soup pan, butter and all. Bring soup to a bubbling simmer, stirring often as the bisque will stick to the soup pan if not stirred. Serve hot with your favorite condiments…oyster crackers, croutons, saltines ….etc or as is. It’s good both ways.

keeper have to thank you, made this for my bro, sis and her husband and it was outstanding! Had a lil kick to it and I did it with deglazing with onions and minced garlic added in plus chopped up potatoes small bits and it was heartily enjoyed by all!

I'm going to try this over the weekend. Sounds delicious!
