Creamy Seafood Soup

I love seafood soup!  This recipe is a gem, easy, tasty and perfect for a chilly night!





1/2 lb uncooked, medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/2 lb bay scallops
1 can lump crab meat
1 T butter
2 celery stalks - chopped
1 medium red pepper - finely chopped
1 medium onion - finely chopped
1/4 C flour
2 C Skim Milk
2 C Half & Half
1/3 C Chicken Broth
1 t Thyme
1/2 t salt

1/2 t Cayenne Pepper (may omit)
Dash of Nutmeg
1 t Old Bay Seasoning

In a Dutch oven, saute shrimp & scallops in butter until shrimp turn pink.  Remove from pan and set aside.  In the same pan, saute the celery, red pepper & onion in remaining butter until tender.  Sprinkle with flour, stir quickly until blended.  Gradually add the remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add the seafood to the pan and heat through. Serve in your favorite Polish Pottery Soup Bowls

*Note:  I like to make mine earlier in the day and the refrigerate for a couple of hours, then heat slowly.  I think soup tastes better if the flavors have a chance to meld together!
