Why I Love This Recipe


Ingredients You'll Need

1 pound of shrimp (de-veined and chopped)
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup onions (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon garlic (finely chopped)
3 large tomatoes (peeled, seeded and finely chopped)
1 cup water (or fish stock)
2 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
pepper to taste
4 medium potatoes (peeled, cooked, cut into chunks)
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 ears of corn (cut crosswise into thirds)


Directions

PREPARATION:


1. In a saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until soft.


2. Stir in the tomatoes, water or fish stock, cloves, bay leaf, salt and pepper.


3. Bring the mix to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.


4.Set a large sieve over a 4 quart casserole.


Pour the contents of the saucepan into the sieve and press down, forcing the food through the strainer to make a puree.


5. Discard the contents of the sieve and return the puree to the saucepan.


6. Add the potatoes and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.


7. Stir in the milk and cream, add the corn, cover again and simmer for 5 minutes.


8. Add the shrimp, cover and simmer another 5 minutes, until shrimp just turns pink. Serve the soup at once.


Serves: 4 to 6 servings.


Questions, Comments & Reviews


Interesting recipe. I wonder if Jerusalem artichokes (sun flower roots actually) could take the place of potatoes? hummm, think I'll try that and let you know the results. Very nice sounding recipe and a good way to use up my tomatoes. lucas hess
