Salmon Bisque!November 16, 2009By robinsky1
"I have made several bisques but none as easy nor tasty. Although you get the essense of Salmon it is in no way a ""fishy"" bisque. I doubled the recipe because I had a 14.5oz can of salmon and it turned out great. The only addition I made was to stir in some dried cajun seasoning while adding the salt and pepper to give it a little bite. I will certainly be making this one again."
