Cold Day, Hot Soup

Years ago, I fould a recipe for Lobster Bisque. It was extremely easy but tasted like it was from a restaurant. Every time I make it, I set aside a portion for my sister. Yesterday one of my friends asked for it. I decided to give the recipe to everyone as it is so good and so easy. I am making it for lunch today.

Lobster Bisque

Cook Time 15 minutes

Makes 4 cups

Ingredients:

1 to 2 cups cooked crab or lobster or shrimp or imitation seafood

1/3 cup dry sherry (or Marsala or white wine) Cooking wine is good too.

1/4 cup butter

3 tablespoons flour

3 cups milk (even skim milk is good, just simmer a bit longer for it to thicken)

1 teaspoon steak or Worcester sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

In small bowl combine seafood and wine and set aside

In a medium saucepan over a low heat, melt butter. Blend in flour and cook stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk stirring constantly.  Continue cooking and stirring until mixture is thickened; stir in steak sauce and salt and pepper. Add the marinated seafood with whatever wine remains, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Enjoy!!
