Have made this twice now and everyone loves it. It is hard to stop eating it. Ina rocks, I own all 6 of her books and use them all of the time. I am a fan for life.

I added a half pound of lump crab meat and topped the soup with a few pieces of chopped beefsteak tomato and my son and daughter in law swear it is the best soup they ever had. I'm sure it is wonderful without the crab and tomato but I love spoiling my family!!

This is truly the best soup ever. I never thought I could make something so delicious in my own kitchen. I've made this so many times, I usually reserve it for guests since making the seafood stock is time consuming...I want to make it worth my while! But each time I make it, I get rave reviews and I am always asked for the recipe. I like to serve it either in individual sourdough bread bowls or with a nice crunchy sourdough loaf on the side. I love Ina's soups and this one is my all time favorite. Deeeelish!!

This recipe is good but could be better. It didn't have the depth of flavor, creaminess or texture I wanted. I added more tomato paste, more sherry and finally a tablespoon of brown sugar, which brought out the sweetness of the shrimp. I would puree the shrimp mixture until smooth and replace some of the half and half with cream. Because it is a relatively easy, I think it will be fun to experiment with it until it is just the way I like it! I like the lime zest idea someone suggested -- I'll try it.

I used chicken stock (with the shrimp shells cooked in for flavor and regular salt. The first time I didn't use cognac. The second time I did. Both times it turned out wonderful. A really nice warm bisque for a cold day. Great flavor. This was my first attempt at cooking a recipe from tv and I was pleased. Thanks!

This soup has a wonderful taste. Rich and creamy without being overly heavy. I served it in individual soup crocks that I had put puffed pastry dough and baked them in the oven. It was tasty and made a great presentation. I was not able to find fish stock and did not have the ingredients to make my own. I finally found a product called "Better Than Boullion" lobster base. It was even hard to find in the lobster flavor. It worked out wonderfully. Because the lobster base had lots of salt, I reduced the amount the recipe calls for.

I made this soup for Valentine's Day dinner and it was wonderful. It was very simple to do and came out great. I highly recommend it!

The first ina reecipe I didn't like. Followed the recipe exactly, but had to use headless shrimp. The bisque came out very bland, and I had to add more salt, pepper, and cayenne. Didn't taste "shrimpy" at all until the next day (leftovers. Would not make again.
