Saute chopped celery and shallots in melted butter. When vegetables are translucent, blend in flour (make a roux). Stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat for approx. 2 - 3 minutes. Slowly stir in chicken broth.
Add pepper and Old Bay seasoning mix. Bring just up to a boil and simmer for approx. 5 minutes. Add half and half and evaporated milk slowly. Continue to cook slowly and stir constantly until thickened and soup just comes to a boil again.
