Dairy-Free Seafood Bisque

I absolutely love a good seafood bisque, however; because I have problems with allergies and mucous...I had to come up with a dairy free bisque.  This recipe turned out really good, is low-fat, low-calorie, dairy-free, and low in carbs too, it also has high vitamin content.

Ingredients:

2 cups Almond milk (I use Almond Breeze original unsweetened, 40 calories per serving)

1/4 cup soy creamer

1 tablespoon cold-pressed olive oil (for sauteing veggies and herbs)

Chopped fine and fresh herbs and veggies:

Parsley

Yellow onion (1/2)

Chives (green onions - aka scallions)

Garlic

Seafood mix:

Pink raw shrimp - not peeled (boil for 3-5 minutes, rinse, drain, peel)

Crayfish tails - can be found in your local seafood freezer, or fresh if you prefer

Sea scallops - toss in with shrimp and let boil for a few minutes.

Seasonings:

Paprika

Sea salt

Cayenne pepper (just a dash)

Honey (to taste)

Bragg's Nutritional Yeast (1 TB)

Flour (1 TB) (as a thickening agent - or you can reduce it, use corn starch, or xantham gum)

Directions:

1. Prepare all veggies and herbs, saute with your chosen seasonings (I used a little olive oil, and McCormick's Smokehouse Maple.
2. Prepare seafood (as directed above)
3. Finely chop seafood, or leave whole at your discretion (I finely chop mine).
4. Add to sauteed veggie mix and toss to blend flavors.
5. In a saucepan, add almond milk, soy creamer on medium heat.  Add seafood, veggies, and herbs to the pan.
6. Add Paprika, cayenne, sea salt, and honey.  
7. Let simmer for 10 minutes or so.
8. Taste, and modify seasonings to your liking.  Add Bragg's Nutritional Yeast (see below for nutrition info on Bragg's).
9. Add thickener of your choice to consistency of your liking.
10. Enjoy!

Bragg's Nutritional yeast is non-active yeast that has a very high vitamin count.  It adds a great cheesy flavor without the problems that active yeast provides (mucous, digestive issues, etc.).
