1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, finely diced
2 Poblano chiles, toasted (see Note) and diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 cup fish broth or clam juice
1 bay leaf
6 small new potatoes, peeled and halved
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until slightly golden.

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the potatoes, bring back to the boil, and decrease the heat so the mixture is simmering.

Categories     Corn

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lbs shrimp (shells on)
1/2 cup real butter
1 cup onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup green onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cups shrimp stock
1 pint whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
2 (15 ounce) cans cream-style corn
1/2 lb good quality bacon (fried and crumbled) or 1/2 lb diced tasso, if you can find it
1 teaspoon basil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (more if you want hot)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 onion, quartered (for stock)

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp in cool water then peel and save shells.
  • In large pot place shrimp shells, 2 quarts of water and quartered onion and bring to a boil, gently boiling shells.
  • Continue boiling until you end up with about 2 cups of stock (at least 45 minutes).
  • Strain the stock into a bowl, discard shells and onion and set aside.
  • In large heavy dutch oven melt butter over medium heat and saute the onions, green onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic until vegetables are soft being careful not to burn.
  • Reduce the fire to low and add the shrimp cooking until pink, about 3 minutes (no more-do not overcook).
  • Remove the mixture from the dutch oven and separate into 2 equal portions.
  • Set one portion aside and run the other portion through the food processor until it is finely shredded (not pasty).
  • Pour reserved shrimp stock in the dutch oven and add the shredded shrimp/vegetable mixture, whipping cream and whole milk.
  • Mix well, turn heat to medium high bring to a gentle boil and stir uncovered for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the creamed corn and crumbled bacon (or tasso), mixing well and cook for another 4 minutes.
  • As it is simmering add the basil, salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne and tabasco.
  • Next add the reserved whole shrimp (the unshredded portion), mixing well.
  • Cover the dutch oven and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.
  • Place in serving bowls and garnish with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much shrimp and corn, the soup will be watery and bland.
  • Cook the shrimp and corn until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until you are happy with the flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and corn soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and corn soup a try.
