Hearty and warm in so many ways…

With this crab bisque you not only get that homey, fill-you-up warmth, you also enjoy a little cayenne oomph to go with it! The bittersweetness of tarragon complements the spice and cream perfectly to give this bisque even more flavor depth. Best of all, it takes surprisingly little time to make.
