Corn & Crab Bisque
Corn & Crab Bisque
We were on the road again last week. This time in Tyler, Texas. Harris travels there a lot. Nuff said. Tyler’s a cool little town, but there’s no place like home. I used to travel with him frequently in the past and on those occasions we were able to stay in hotels, like Candlewood Suites, where there was a kitchenette. So I’d cook most nights. In Tyler that option doesn’t occur. So Harris will make four different soups—one for each night he’s away—and heat it up on a hot plate. I did likewise. I made crawfish étouffée and chili and some other things and we had home-cooked meals. Add a glass of wine and while not à la maison, at least we were together and didn’t have to eat out every night.
The day before we returned home, I thought I’d pick up some ingredients for an easy supper to make the first night back. We’d be rolling into the yard around 5 p.m. and I didn’t want to have to shop or try to defrost something. I picked up some ingredients for corn and crab bisque and it was great. This easy recipe is gluten free, too! No roux. It’s still silky and lush without being heavy, and the focus is on the star ingredients: corn and crab. As well it should be!
