How to Make Celery Shrimp Bisque

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 cups chopped celery and 1 medium chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 6 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon celery salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup heavy cream until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the soup. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup has thickened slightly and is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional).
  7. For an extra-smooth bisque, carefully transfer about 1 cup of the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir to combine.
  8. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
