About Bisque

Bisque is a rich, creamy soup typically made from a blend of shellfish such as lobster, crab, or shrimp, paired with aromatics, vegetables, broth, and heavy cream. Originating from French cuisine, bisque is renowned for its velvety texture and deep, savory flavors, often achieved by puréeing the cooked ingredients. While it’s a decadent and flavorful dish, bisque can be high in calories and saturated fat due to the use of cream and butter. However, it does provide key nutrients such as protein from the shellfish, and certain vitamins and minerals like selenium and vitamin B12. Healthier versions can be made by replacing heavy cream with lighter alternatives such as almond milk or yogurt, and including more vegetables. Bisque is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, given its luxurious composition and exquisite taste suited to special meals or celebrations.
