Seafood Bisque
["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"]
["Saute mushrooms and onions.", "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).", "Cook very slowly, do not boil.", "Since the seafood is precooked it is only necessary to simmer to get the bisque good and hot."]
