Ingredients

2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
2 small onions, chopped
1 c. butter
4 c. chicken broth
2 qt. half and half
4 lb. seafood (scallops, shrimp, crab meat, sea legs, or can use 1 lb. of each or whatever combination you like)
seasonings: bay leaves, Old Bay and pepper to taste

Directions

1

Saute mushrooms and onions.
2

Add enough flour to make a roux. Slowly add chicken broth then half and half, stirring constantly. Add seafood (I suggest precooking seafood in case milk doesn't get hot enough to cook completely; I precook in the microwave).
3

Cook very slowly, do not boil.
4

Since the seafood is precooked it is only necessary to simmer to get the bisque good and hot.
