    I didn't have creole seasoning in my pantry so I used a bay leaf, cayenne, red pepper flakes, paprika, and sea salt. Also, no half and half so I used whole milk and it was still rich and delicious.

    This is such a simple recipe and is sooo good!! I used Emeril's Cajun Essence as my cajun spice and it was perfect! Instead of using steamed shrimp, I used raw, since it only takes a minute to cook it anyway and I was concerned about over cooking it. I did have the supermarket steam the lobster tails though. I just added the half & half and simmered that for 10 - 15 minutes and waited until the last couple minutes to add the seafood, so as not to over cook it and it worked great! What a wonderfully tasty soup! I'll definitely make it again! In fact I think the broth would also make a really tasty potato soup! I'll try that next time!

    I made this dish last night for my husband and I and it was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of a dash of crab boil. I served the soup in a sourdogh bowl for a wonderful presentation! I will definately make this dish again to serve to my friends. Thanks Paula!

    Absolutely sinful, ever make something soooo good you didn't want to share it? I just did when I made Paula's bisque. Very easy and outlandishly tasteful! Will make it again and again, Thank you Miss Paula, "you done good " girl!

    I used three lobster tails and no shrimp. I also used shrimp stock that I had in my freezer left over from making gumbo instead of chicken stock. At first I thought it was a little bland, and only had one level of flavor so..... I put about 3 teaspoons of cajun seasoning some salt and pepper and at least 1/4 cup of Vermont dry wine and it came out soooo rich and creamy!! We all loved it and had no leftovers *SS* This recipe is a great base just take it and make it to you're liking!!!

    I like it but have had better, I must admit I have not made a soup like this before. I will use this recipe again, with some tweaks of my own, maybe using a seafood stock instead of chicken, and some Mushrooms. I might even try it with some oysters in it.

    Followed everything according to the directions and it turned out incredible. Only addition was a small amount of cayenne pepper since the wife and I enjoy something with kick. To get the full effect, I would recommend using the sourdough bread bowls. Thanks Paula!
