Comments:
This is a hearty soup that makes a great entree especially when served with a thick slice of garlic bread. This is a recipe of my own creation adapted from some more complicated (and expensive) lobster bisque recipes. This is a great recipe for non-vegan vegetarians who enjoy seafood as much as I do.
