4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter
4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3/8 tsp. pepper
3 cups milk (I use half & half for low carb)
1 cup chicken stock (or 1 bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup water)
1 1/2 cups flaked crab meat
10 raw shrimp cleaned (or more if you want!)
1 cup scallops (more if you like!)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
sherry, to taste
parsley, for garnish
French bread (omit for low carb)

Melt butter, stir in flour, salt and pepper. When well blended slowly stir in milk and add chicken stock slowly - constantly stirring over low heat until mixture boils. Add seafood, onion and Parmesan cheese. Cook over low heat until crab meat is soft, about ten minutes.

Add sherry to taste - I use about 1/4 cup but I would add slowly and keep tasting. This recipe is not mine unless you add SHERRY! :-)

Toast two rounds of French bread. Plate the bread and pour bisque over and sprinkle with parsley. Enjoy!

Note: I sometimes use more seafood. I like it thick and not soupy and can be a main entrée with a nice salad.
