Steps to make Crab Bisque:

1. Saute onion and carrot in 2 Tablespoons of butter until soft. Set aside. (Can be done with cooking spray to reduce fat.)
2. In a large saucepan, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter and add flour, whisking constantly over medium heat until roux becomes light brown (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to burn!
3. Slowly add chicken broth, while whisking constantly.
4. Add onions and carrots, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Add cream, sherry, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer an additional 10 minutes. Add shredded imitation crab.
6. A note about the heavy cream. I only used half of the cream and added 1% milk for the other half cup. Always trying to lower fat content without ruining the recipe…it still tasted great!!
7. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
