Notes

If you have leftovers, store the bisque in an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for about a month. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream to revive its original lusciousness. Experiment with spices like Cajun seasoning for an extra kick or blend the bisque for a smoother texture.
