Strawberry Or Raspberry Bisque - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb fresh strawberries or 2 1/2 cups red raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 ounces cream cheese

Preparation

Combine berries and sugar and mix well.
Stir in lemon juice.
Run berries through blender or food processor briefly to break them up.
Melt butter in a saucepan and blend in flour.
Add cream cheese and milk all at once and immediately stir vigorously over moderate heat.
Continue to cook until thickened, stirring frequently to create a sauce-like consistency, although it will stay a bit thin.
Cool, stirring occasionally. Chill.
Just before serving, stir berries gradually into the sauce.
