As summer fades and cooler days creep in, I always start thinking about soup season. This Crab Bisque is a longtime family favorite—rich, delicious, and the perfect comfort food as we transition into fall. A dear friend shared this recipe years ago, and it’s become a treasured classic in our kitchen. It’s hearty enough to serve as a meal and special enough to make any dinner feel like a celebration. Enjoy!
