Chicken Paprikash Bisque

Capsaicin is the compound in certain foods that give it their heat, like in jalapeños or chilli peppers.

In general terms, capsaicin generates heat, raising your body temperature, which in turn is said to stimulate your metabolism, making you burn more calories.

Studies have shown that a spicy meal can indeed temporarily raise your metabolism, but only by about 8%. Other studies have indicated that spicy foods make you feel fuller, so you end up eating less.

Although the effects of spicy food on metabolism are not fully known, I do know that this Chicken Paprikash Bisque is one of the best I’ve ever made.

Paprika, and red pepper give it a bit of heat and turn it a beautiful red color. And by using left over rotisserie chicken, its even quicker to thrown together after a long days work.

  1. Having Hungarian ancestry Chicken Paprika should was a standard growing up. Thank you for this, I will try it next time I am at home for more than a day, ????!!

  2. What can I use instead of sour cream? I am allergic to dairy.I can use almond milk but I assume it is too thin, same as coconut milk .I suppose full canned coconut milk would not work or would it. This recipe sounds great.
