Any tips on how to thicken crab bisque?

[Nymeramoon]

My crab bisque turned out a bit thinner than I expected. Does anyone have tips on how to thicken it up without compromising the flavor? I've heard of using flour or cornstarch, but I'm not sure. Help!

One trick that helped me is to mix equal parts of cornstarch or flour with cold water to make a slurry. I stir it into the simmering bisque and cook for a few minutes until thickened. If you do this, make sure to whisk continuously to avoid lumps.

Don't worry, that happens! A little cornstarch or flour mixed with cold water can do the trick. Just be sure to stir it in slowly so it doesn't clump up.
