Shrimp Bisque with Cream: A Comforting Recipe for Stay-at-Home Parents

As a stay-at-home parent, I know how important it is to have a few easy and comforting recipes in your repertoire that you can whip up quickly and enjoy with your family. One of our favorite comfort foods is shrimp bisque with cream. This indulgent soup is sure to please everyone at the table, and it’s easy enough to make on a busy weeknight.

The ingredients are simple and straightforward. You’ll need butter, onions, celery, garlic, white wine, shrimp stock (or chicken stock if you don’t have shrimp stock), tomato paste, heavy cream, cooked shrimp, salt, and pepper. To make the dish extra special, I love to add a pinch of saffron for a subtle flavor.

To begin, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Then add the garlic and sauté for two minutes more. Pour in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp stock and tomato paste and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Next, add the heavy cream and cooked shrimp to the pot. Simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes until everything is nice and hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, stir in a pinch of saffron (optional). This will give the bisque an extra layer of flavor that is just divine!

When it’s time to serve, ladle out generous servings into shallow bowls or cups and garnish with some fresh parsley or chives if desired. Trust me when I say that this bisque will become an instant family favorite! It has all of the warmth of home-cooked comfort food but is still light enough to enjoy year-round.

Whenever I make this dish for my family, I always think back on my childhood days when my mom would make us all her famous shrimp bisque with cream. Every bite was like a trip down memory lane—warmth and happiness in every spoonful! That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing this recipe with all of you other stay-at-home parents out there—so that you can create your own special memories around your dinner table tonight!
