My local Dollar Tree stocks it from time to time -- when it's there I like to get a can.
It's only 10.5 ounces of thick soup that directions say to add a can of milk. That's what I did, but next time I would add no more than 3/4 or half a can of milk.
I found it watered down the Lobster Bisque. I wanted a Clam Chowder consistency. But it was still a tasty bowl of goodness.

Celery and spices are also listed, but these ingredients are minor. What stands out is the creamy seafood lobster flavor.
While not a wimpy Lobster Bisque, don't expect chunks of lobster for $1. There are a few crumbs of ground lobster in the soup just to let you know they use the real thing.
If you want a meaty soup on the cheap then I would add a few chunks of krab or fake crab. If you have some frozen bay shrimp add that. Hey, go all out and get a small lobster tail !!
This can of Lobster Bisque will not fill you up, so serve it with some crusty bread, a salad or a sandwich. I made a Sliced Turkey Breast Sandwich with melted cheese -- boy was that a great combo.
So how does this Deal of the Day rate on my Cheap$kake Dining Scale of 1 to 9, 9 being best? I give Lobster Bisque by Hanover a strong 7!
While not an East Coast Classic Lobster Bisque, for a buck this will do on a cold winter's day.

I prefer to make my own !
But for $1 it's worth a try.
About to try my can, I'm adding drained canned corn and some pre-cooked frozen shrimp. I was wondering about using it as a topping/gravy for rice too.Thanks for the heads up about the liquid and thanks for the post!
