I always trust Ina to give me a recipe that wins my family over. It works every time, and this bisque was nothing short of delightful. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Perfection, as always. Thanks again, Ina!!

This recipe is amazing. I have never reviewed before but I always read them. I had to comment on this one. First of all I browned the leeks too much and was afraid it would taste bad in the soup...I also used white wine instead of sherry based on another review(and I didn't have sherry and it was heavenly. Also I simmered my shrimp shells in chicken broth and I really think the shrimp shells make all of the difference. I also agree that more tomato paste is in order. This soup is incredible.Really it's that good!

This was an excellent soup. I made my own seafood stock with crab shells (crab legs for breakfast, shrimp tails, and some basic seasoning veggies. Careful not to boil the stock too long or it can become bitter (so I'm told. Pureed the leeks and shrimp, cooked down with the stock, and didn't waste a drop; marvelous! May not be a classic "bisque", but absolutely delicious. I like mine a little lumpy so I didn't puree as much. Thanks Ina!

I got rave reviews from my family after making this bisque. The flavors were
wonderful and the texture lovely. It heats up well also. I've made this twice and will be making again and again. I love Ina's show, she is always so relaxed and at home. She makes me feel that I can do her recipes just like she does! I am addicted to the Food Network and watch as often as I can. My husband even watches with me.

this is swell the way it is. do it for the family with some crusty bread or for a party with a puff pastry crust.

i always make shrimp stock and freeze it for later use. if iam am pinched for volume, i add clam juice to that....works just fine.

sometimes, i puree half of the shrimp and rough chop and add the other half for more texture.

for the sour pusses who say it isn't a "classic" bisque. get a life. mona lisa wasn't a classic beauty.

ina is great and makes the impossible do-able and makes my humble clulinary
accomplishments look stellar.

This bisque was delicious! I served it at a dinner party and everyone loved the flavor. Making the stock out of the shells was a real flavor booster! My reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 was that I did not like the texture of the pureed shrimp in the bisque. It was not as smooth as other bisques I have tried. I am going to make this again and puree less shrimp or none at all. Hopefully that will do the trick!
