For Your Recipe You Will Need.

1. 6 Ears of Fresh Sweet Corn.

2. 1 Pound Of Bacon diced up into small pieces.

3. 1 Pound Crab Meat.

4. 2 Large Potatoes peeled and cut into small cubes.

5. 1/3 Cup Green Onions including tops diced very fine.

6. 1 Quart Half and Half Cream.

7. 1/2 Cup All Purpose Plain Flour.

8. 1/2 Cup Real Butter.

9. 2 Cans Chicken Broth.

10. 1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper.

You want to start by cutting your bacon up into small cubes and place the pound of bacon into a large skillet. Cook your bacon over medium heat until almost done. Now while the bacon is cooking you want to scrape your corn off the cob being sure to scrape each cob of corn deep to get all the flavor. Once you have all the corn off the cob and the bacon is almost done add the corn to the pan with the bacon and stir well.

Cook your corn until you are pretty sure it is done. Pour your corn and bacon including the grease into a large bowl.

Take your flour and butter and in a large clean pan cook a roux until it is light brown in color using care to make sure that you don't burn your roux.

Now add everything into a large stock pot adding a little bit of your half and half at a time and stir often. Now you want to almost bring your pot to a boil but not quite. Just before your pot boils reduce your heat to low and cook about 45 minutes until your potatoes are cooked and tender. Now reduce your heat as low as possible.

Serve your Corn and Crab Bisque with crackers for a delicious tasty treat that everyone I have made it for loves. Be sure to check your crab meat for pieces of crab shell carefully before adding it to your pot.

Some people like to puree this bisque to a very smooth consistency. I serve it both ways and almost every one loves it. Try offering a bit of sherry to each bowl as you serve it for a extra tasty treat.
