What is a Bisque Soup?

A bisque soup, or bisque, is typically a soup made from shellfish. You would not present an imperfect lobster or crab as a centerpiece, but you can use such crustaceans to make the best bisque recipes. The shells can be ground to a fine paste and added to the soup, to make it thicker. Bisque soup can be thickened with rice or they can be pureed. Cognac or wine are often added to bisque recipes to intensify the flavor.

Soup Tureen – What is This Item?

A soup tureen is a type of serving item that can be used for soup, stew, and similar food. It is a type of vessel to hold the food, and often has a broad and ovular shape, as well as a deep design. It often has side handles in two opposite locations, enabling it to be picked up while holding each side evenly. The top of a soup tureen is a removable cover, which is generally in a domed shape, but somewhat low. This cover also typically has something which can be gripped, such as a knob, or even a handle similar to those on the sides.
