Healthy Crab Bisque Recipe – Without Heavy Cream!

I had some Crab Meat in my refrigerator from Anderson Seafoods that I have been dying to cook with, and since it’s a bit cool, I wanted to make a soup.  My first thoughts went directly to a Crab Bisque.  My next thought was…anything “bisque” is loaded with calories and heavy cream.  You all know I try really hard to keep my meals on the lower-fat option.  So, I thought back to the Weight Watchers Potato Soup recipe I shared awhile back and decided that I would substitute low-fat cream cheese and fat-free milk for the heavy cream.

It wasn’t really that hard to make, but the cream cheese does take a bit longer to become completely liquified so you will see small white dots while the soup is simmering.

Now, this Crab Bisque recipe is not as creamy as the ones you will have in restaurants, but it is also not 500 calories PER SERVING.  I thought it came out great, and have had it for leftovers already too 🙂  The great part about the leftovers, so that you don’t see that gross butter/fat layer on the top of your soup – you know what I am talking about if you have ever had clam chowder or a bisque from a restaurant the next day….

Now, here’s my recipe…Make sure to Pin it and Print it so that you can make it again and again.

Make sure to let me know if you try this Healthy Crab Bisque…I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
