Which soup is a rich, creamy soup whose color and flavor come from lobster, shrimp, or crayfish?

• A. Bisque
• B. Gazpacho
• C. Chowder
• D. Consomme

Answer: (A)

This describes a bisque. A bisque is a rich, creamy seafood soup whose color and flavor come from crustaceans like lobster, shrimp, or crayfish. The shells are used to develop a deep, shellfish-forward stock, which is then puréed and often finished with cream to create a smooth, velvety texture and a characteristic color. Gazpacho is a cold, tomato-based vegetable soup, not creamy. Chowder can be thick and creamy but is usually chunky with pieces like potatoes or corn. Consommé is a clear, clarified broth with no cream or shellfish body.
