What we ARE NOT eating, Wednesday - Carol Story's Manhattan Lobster Bisque


After liver, this fun book is always a great source of not eating! The weather is starting to warm up here in Vancouver, but even the rain of yesterday did not inspire me to make this soup.....

Carol Story's Manhattan Lobster Bisque
not cooked from:  the phony gourmets
will not serve:  4


the intro:  "There's not a drop of lobster in this delicious soup, but if you tell your guests it's called Lobster Bisque, their brains will take over and they will actually think that's what's in it." - Carol Story

1 (10 ounce) can Campbell's Tomato Soup
1 (10 ounce) can Campbell's Split Pea Soup
2 c milk
1 c fake crab meat, finely chopped in food processor

1. In a medium saucepan, heat soups, milk and fake crab over medium heat for 15 minutes or until steaming hot.
2. Serve piping hot and don't forget to tell everyone the name of the recipe.

OK, lets move on shall we? Take a look at some good food, ready to bring on summer!

How about a homemade strawberry cream soda, I can't wait for granddaughter to come for her next visit!

Tomato and split pea soup mixed together? Why? Love the touch of the fake crab. Gosh, I bet anyone would think they were eating the real thing. :D I know what I won't be eating today Melynda. Have a good one!

Debbi Does Dinner Healthy said...

Wow, so nice to know what I for sure won't be serving at my next dinner party!

Reminds me of mock apple pie that my dad swore to me tasted like the real thing. He said my mom had used to make an apple pie, without the apples but used RITZ CRACKERS instead and it tasted the same. Uh, right dad.

Melynda-I just love this Phony Gourmet book you post the "What We are not eating On Wednesday"
I just recently picked up a "doozy" of a book called "White Trash Cooking"...you should hear about some of the weird recipes in there.
For sure this will not be on my list of menus...LOL

Holly said...

I can't even imagine what color that soup would be after mixing tomato and split pea. WHY!!!????????

Kitchen Belleicious said...

I love when you do this. I love hearing about posts that inspire others and make them want to try them out. I love the make your own convenience food and the squash? Wow! Can't wait to check out them all especially the lobster bisque. it is calling my name

Sage Trifle said...

That "Bisque"? I can't get past the imagined horror of what it must look like. And no, if I look at a bowl of sludge and someone tells me it is something different, my brain will not be tricked into thinking it is "the real thing."

But I look forward to checking out the other links. Thanks for sharing them.

Beverly@Beverly's Back Porch said...

I love your "make believe" Loster Bisque!

Judi said...

Actually, (whispering) Sandra Lee demonstrated a similar bisque recipe on her Food Network show!

Thanks for including the squash recipe. I'm flattered!

Just yesterday, I tried the white chocolate pretzel peanut butter recipe I saw on your blog:

Fake crab? Haha! Never heard of it before and no way I'm making this too! Thank you for the laughs!

Reeni said...

OMG I just lost my appetite! I don't know how people come up with this stuff. Thanks for linking me!

On the other hand, that strawberry cream soda sounds DEEEEE-LISH! :)
