Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup sliced scallions
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth, vegetable broth or seafood stock
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg bertollli meal soup for 2: ricotta & lobster ravioli in seafood bisque
1 c milk
1/2 c cream sherry

Steps:

  • 1. You're going to love this if you're hungry and are too tired to cook - it could happen. Follow the directions on the back of the package - open it, pour into a 2-quart saucepan, add 1 cup milk, bring to boil stirring frequently, add sherry, lower heat, simmer until ravioli and veggies are done.
  • 2. Bertolli as a rule is a good product and I've always been curious about their prepared, frozen meals. This shopping day I decided to walk on the wild side and check them out. I bought this bisque, Meal soup for 2, and a pasta dish with shrimp and asparagus. I'm not ashamed it was so easy to throw together and am looking forward to the pasta.
  • 3. Kick back, sip a martini as you cook, enjoy!
