A bisque is a thick, rich seafood soup, which usually contains shellfish.
It is unlike regular fish soup, which is thinner in consistency, a lighter soup, which may contain other seafood as well. Both kinds are delicious.
Ingredients:
24 shrimp (peeled)
2 cod fillets
Instead of cod fillets you can use Norwegian Fiskeboller and the stock as well.
4 cups fish stock (you can use 1 fish bouillon cube per cup to create fish stock - works great.
3/4 cup sweet cream
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup white wine (can be replaced with fish stock)
2 peeled potatoes, chopped
1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
1/2-cup leeks, cleaned well and thinly sliced
1/3 cup parsley root, cut into strips
Salt and pepper to taste.
Preparation:
Pour stock into a soup pan.
Add vegetables and bring to a boil.
Turn to simmer
Add white wine
Add seafood
Cook medium heat until fish is flaky.
Add chives, retain some for garnish.
When vegetables and seafood are done add sour cream.
Continue simmering while stirring gently.
Add cream
Let rest and garnish with chives before serving.
Hope you will enjoy this delicious, rich creamy fish soup.
God appetitt! (Bon appétit!)
