Norwegian Seafood Bisque

Norwegian Seafood Bisque with shrimp. (Fiskesuppe med reker in Norwegian) (above)

Bisque is a rich and creamy seafood soup, which usually contains shellfish.

It is similar to fish soup, but it is thinner in consistency. Fish soup may contain a greater variety of seafood - there seem to be no rules about what seafood you can add to and still call it fish soup - all are delicious.

This soup makes a great meal to bring to a potluck get-together or to serving for lunch will make this meal very special. A cup of Seafood Bisque and a salad - bingo you have a satisfying treat.

In Norway, we have numerous ways to make seafood soup. We use cod, salmon, shrimp, flounder, lobster, crab, and numerous other kinds of seafood along with delicious vegetables and herbs. The Norwegians make sweet-sour fish soup and sildesuppe using stock made from the carcass of fish and the shrimp shells, which gives amazing flavor to soups and sauces and last, but not least numerous varieties of seafood bisque.

I welcome you to visit Norway-hei often to discover Norwegian cooking secrets and the unique flavors of Norway.
