Ingredients
- 2 cups half & half
- 2 cups 2% or whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup chicken or seafood stock
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
- ¼ cup sherry
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- Bread for croutons (optional)
Instructions
- Warm half and half and milk in a double boiler until warm.
- In a large sauce pan, melt margarine and add flour. Once you add the flour, stir constantly until well-combined.
- Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Old Bay. Mix well.
- Add milk mixture and mix well.
- Add sherry and crab meat and heat until almost boiling.
- If desired, make homemade croutons for your bisque. Simply cube several thick slices of bread and broil for approximately 5 minutes in oven. Watch closely to prevent croutons from burning! (You can season this croutons if desired, but this bisque already has plenty of flavor so plain croutons work, too!)
