How to Make Chef's Choice Shellfish Bisque

  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in fish broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in sherry (if using).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together a small amount of the hot soup with the egg yolks to temper them.
  6. Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
  7. Add shellfish and heavy cream. Heat through gently, stirring occasionally, until the shellfish is cooked through and the sauce is thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in half of the chopped parsley (if using).
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with remaining parsley.
