This recipe makes a whole lot of soup so I scaled it down to about 3 or so but it still could feed more than that. I used skim milk thickend with some cornstarch to attempt to replace the heavy cream. Surprisingly the skim milk worked just fine in this recipe once I added some cornstarch to it. I feel this is an excellent base to make a more hearty soup with different types of seafood.

Although this makes alot of lobster bisque, the flavor was outstanding and recipe very simple to make. Since I had so much left over, I stirred in some fresh pink shrimp the next night and served over fettucine and it was equally delicious. I still had a cup left over and made seafood omelets the next morning and used the bisque as a sauce over the top.
