Hi Jill,

My Mom and I have made lobster bisque every Christmas day for as long as I
can remeber. This year is my first that I'm not going to be able to go home
for Christmas, so I think that I'm going to make some anyway to share with
the people that were nice enough to include me in their Christmas. Anyway,
we use the following seasonings:
Onion
Celery
Parsley (fresh sprigs)
bay leaf

Cheers,
Carrie
