SUCKS!!! High 30s, rainy, windy, and occasionally spitting sleet…
And it was my turn to cook supper for the group. What to have? Something WARM!
Garlic shrimp soup, Caesar salad, and fresh bread. It was hot, filling, and Peter and Dot did a couple of desserts to go with it! Many thanks to them!
The soup is really simple, and one I made up years ago…LOL
Since I was feeding a large group, it was 8 cans of New England clam chowder, 3 cans of stewed tomatoes, and two cans of Rotel mild chilies and tomato. Add garlic (and more garlic), simmer and stir for 15-20 minutes until hot through and well mixed.
6 lbs of 31-40 count shrimp, cooked in Zatarain’s shrimp boil until just pinking, add to the chowder mix, simmer another 15 minutes to finish and serve!
And get out of the way…LOL
The ‘average’ was two bowls for everyone, and nobody went home hungry! The discussions, as always, were wide ranging, interesting, and we all learned something(s).
Hopefully, the weather will start breaking today, otherwise, I’m going to start molding…sigh
That looks interesting. How many people did it feed, please?
Thank you for sending a bowlful home to me! It was a bit of a shock to the system to come home from a couple of days in muggy Florida to chilly Texas!
Heh. Yeah — must be the weather, unseasonably *hot* here!!! I boiled a pound and a half of shrimp last night. Going to fry some later today. It’s a shrimp weekend!
Just add the shrimp into the soup, right?
Kudos on not over cooking the shrimps.
That looks good! Cool and rainy here. It’s a good day for a blanket and something hot. Texas is not supposed to be colder than the PNW!
Try adding a dollop of Lobster base. the brand I use is ‘better than bullion’. In the soup aisle.
This is a great recipe.
Without the shrimps, it is a base for a few possibilities, including using canned potato soup for folks that cannot eat clams.
Another alternative, Cod fish filets.
Thanks, JL.
John- It will feed 12.
Cedar- You are more than welcome!
Bob- Oh yeah!!!
Jamie- Exactly!
SLee- Tell me about it! It’s the pre-Easter ‘snow’… sigh
Gregg- Huh, never thought about that, thanks.
Jamie- That would work too!
Another “starving student” special. Cream of tomato soup. Add–
Cut up hot dog of your choice lightly browned in skillet.
Baked tater-tots or rounds.
Not recommended for anyone on a low salt diet.
Next time post a DROOL warning! 😉
RHT- You got it! 😉
Stretch- LOL
Chili works, too, on a cold, blustery day, add fresh, hot scones. But the shrimp soup looks delicious.
LL- Lawdog does the chili… I do this!
