• 2 tbsp finely shredded than chopped carrots
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups chicken broth(unsalted if available)

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup sherry
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups finely shreded cooked striper fish

Cooking time will vary with thickness of filets. Fish should flake easily.
In soup pot melt butter. Saute garlic, onions, and carrots until tender.
Over medium heat, add flour to butter mixture stirring frequently 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Lower heat and whisk in broth and cream. Return to medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture thickens.
Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, cayenne, and sherry.
Finally, add striper fish. Finely shredding the striper fish really gives this soup a rich texture.
