Shrimp Bisque 2

1/2 cup celery-diced fine
1/2 cup of Onion-diced fine
1 cup of Mushrooms-fresh, sliced
1 cup of Shrimp-diced
1 pint of  fish stock
1/2 cup of flour (scant)
1 pint of milk-whole, warm
1/2 cup of tomato puree
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of Sherry, or more to taste

Heat half the butter in a non-stick skillet un- til it bubbles. Add celery, onion, mushrooms & shrimp. Saute only until the onions are clear & the celery a little pliable. Add fish stock. Melt the other half of the butter in a 2-qt. saucepan & stir in the flour to make a roux. Add the warm milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens & is thoroughly blended. Combine with the fish stock mixture, tomato puree, salt and pepper. If too thick, correct with a bit more milk. Splash in the sherry and serve hot.
