A delicious and warming bisque is what today calls for! Bring Maine to your table with this amazing recipe. A Sour Dough Loaf from Flavor Mutt would push this over the edge!
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped celery
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces of crab meat
4 to 8 ounces small cooked shrimp or other seafood
2 tablespoons sherry wine (Optional)
Instructions:
Use a sieve to sift the flour. Mix this into the butter and vegetables until well combined. Cook and stir for about two minutes. In another saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat. Stir the warmed milk slowly and continue to cook while stirring until the milk has thickened. Stir in the freshly ground black pepper, tomato paste, then the heavy cream.
You can puree the soup if desired using a blender or a food processor. Then, pour it back into the saucepan. Add in the crab, shrimp and sherry. Stir and bring to a simmer.
Serve immediately.
