    This doesn’t sound like their bisque at all.

    I think this recipe may have some from the Houston Chronicle a few years ago. From time to time, restaurants do change their recipes.

    We order this all the time at Pappadeaux’s and this is definitely not the recipe for the Crawfish Bisque they are serving now. This isn’t pureed and theirs has nothing green like green pepper in it.

    I don’t know what any of the reply’s above are talking about, but I just had the Pappadeaux Crawfish Bisque at their Denver location and all the ingreediants in this recipe seemed to be in the one I just ate. The Bisque was not pureed, it had small pieces of onion, green peppers and a good amount of Crawfish Tail Meat. I looked the recipe online because I am from Kansas City and do not have access to Pappadeaux locations unless I travel, and I wanted to see what was out there to make myself when I got back home ? I’m going to try this when I get home and I’ll you you know if it is the recipe or not, but this sure sounds like it ?
