How are cream soup and puree soup similar?

Answer 1

Bisque is the name given to a thick, creamy and richly-flavoured soup made from seafood, including shells, as well as onions and other vegetables; it is similar to chowder, another thick soup, but while chowder retains chunky pieces of seafood, bisque is puréed, so it is a smooth soup.

It is usually also thickened with cream and frequently also finished with cream on serving.

So, bisque is a puréed soup. Other puréed soups, though, are not necessarily bisque; they can be any kind of soup, with or without seafood or any other meat, puréed until the soup is thick and smooth.

Seafood soups, also, are not necessarily bisques. The French Bouillabaisse, from the Provençal port of Marseilles, like other similar Mediterranean seafood soups, is not thickened and is served with seafood in chunks or whole; cream is not used.

Answer 2

Cream soup is the thick, creamy and richly-flavoured soup made from cream. Another thick soup it 's chowder retains chunky it is a purée so it is a smooth soup.

Answer 3

Both have similar consistency and filling.

Answer 4

Puree soups are cooked or uncooked vegetable purees like Gazpacho.

Creme soups are cooked and Bechamel Sauce (White) is added to thicken it, like in the case of creme de volaille
