Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 4 cups (1 qt) half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or water
  • 1/2 cup chopped drained roasted red bell peppers (from 7-oz jar)
  • 12 oz cod fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 oz uncooked peeled deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen and tails peeled
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps

  • 1
    In 4-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in flour. Gradually stir in broth, half-and-half and wine. Stir in bell peppers and cod. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
  • 2
    Stir in shrimp. Simmer uncovered 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm. Stir in pesto, salt and pepper.

  • Cooked shrimp works great in this recipe, too. Just add the shrimp to the bisque and simmer until heated through. If you use cooked shrimp, reserve 8 shrimp and tie a chive around each shrimp for an extra-special garnish.
  • As you dish up the soup, sprinkle chopped fresh basil leaves and a little freshly shredded Parmesan cheese on each serving.
