  • “I was really excited to try this recipe because a local restaurant makes a great clam bisque. I was incredibly disappointed when I tasted the recipe. I ended up adding 4 cubes of chicken bouillon, some salt and some garlic. It was edible, but still not at all what I was hoping for. I will not be making this recipe again!”

  • “Mmmm…. Rich and creamy!I made this as written, just adding a little gaelic.The texture was perfect.The flavor was also very good, but next time I would add some fresh herbs; maybe parsley and tarragon…. just to enhance the flavor a bit more.Thanx for posting!”
