Crawfish and Mascarpone Bisque

6 Servings

Sometimes you have to wonder how you went so long without realizing that two particular things made a great combo. For instance, how long did people go before they realized peanut butter and jelly went well together? On this particular day, I discovered how well crawfish and mascarpone cheese went together.

It should have been obvious. Both are super delicious and what better way to put them together than bisque!? I love soup and could eat it every day.

What about you? Do you eat soup all year or only in the cold months? I will eat it any time!

For another great combination, try this bisque with my Pork Belly Debris Grilled Cheese. Find more great recipes at PontchartrainKitchen.com
