Notes
To transform our beloved Creamy Seafood Symphony Bisque. Into a gluten-free delight. Embrace a simple swap. That keeps the essence of the sea intact. While welcoming everyone to the table. Instead of traditional flour. Let’s turn to the magic of cornstarch. A faithful ally. In achieving that perfect, velvety thickness. Without a trace of gluten. Begin by mixing 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. With an equal part of water. To create a smooth slurry. Once our bisque begins to whisper of simmering dreams. Stir in this blend. And watch as it thickens to perfection. Mirroring the embrace. Of the ocean's depths. This small gesture. Ensures that the symphony of flavors. In our bisque can be savored by all. Making every spoonful. A celebration of inclusivity. And the boundless joy of cooking.
