Crab Bisque

A really simple crab bisque.  Delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• ½ small onion, chopped
• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ cup light cream
• Pinch of paprika
• 6 ounces fresh crabmeat, picked over for shell and cartilage
• 1 Tablespoon sherry
• 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

In a blender, combine the butter, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, onion, milk and cream and process until smooth.  Add the crab and pulse a few times until well blended.

Pour the mixture into a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan.  Over medium-low heat, simmer for about 20 minutes until it is slightly thickened, stirring to make sure it doesn't scorch.  Stir in the sherry and sprinkle with the chopped chives.
