Very Easy Seafood Bisque

I make this every christmas because my whole family requests it. it's so flavorful and tastes outstanding. this is a great comfort food as well as a zesty, creamy meal perfect for entertaining. I use canned crabmeat and it's great. i found that adding salt makes it too salty.
