Fresh Potato Soup With Shrimp Food

FRESH POTATO SOUP WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and carrots in butter about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute.
• Add potatoes, milk and bouillon granules. Cook, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Reduce heat to low. Add half-and-half, salt and pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Reduce heat to low. Add shrimp; cook 1 minute. Serve hot.

PAULA DEEN'S POTATO SOUP WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp all at once and stir well. Watch the shrimp closely; as soon as they all turn pink, about 2 or 3 mintes, turn off the heat and drain. The shrimp should be slightly undercooked. When they are cool, peel them and chop roughly into big chunks -- or not. Paula likes to leave her shrimp whole, so this is your preference.
• In a 4-quart saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion and carrots until both are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Do not allow to take on color. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, milk, and dissolved bouillon cubes. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are very soft and some of them have begun to dissolve into mush. Mine took longer to reach this point. I suggest covering the pot during this time. Add the half-and-half, salt and pepper.
• When heated through, serve soup sprinkled with bacon bits and grated cheese. Garnish with dill sprigs, if desired.

SHRIMP, CORN, AND POTATO SOUP

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. Add the poblanos and the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more, until the aroma of the garlic is released. Add the tomatoes, fish broth and bay leaf. 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. Cover the pan and simmer the soup for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Stir in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes more, then add the corn kernels, corn rounds, shrimp, salt and pepper and simmer for an additional 4 minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve in heated bowls, sprinkled with a few leaves of cilantro.

LIGHT POTATO, BROCCOLI, AND SHRIMP SOUP

Steps:

• Bring a medium sized pot to medium-high heat and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Add minced shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add potato and broccoli cooking for about 2-3 minutes to caramelize.
• Add chicken broth and thyme to the pot. Season with some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes and broccoli are tender. Remove from heat and use a hand-held immersion blender to puree soup base.
• Place the pot back on medium low heat and add cream cheese, sour cream, and half & half. Stir regularly until ingredients are well incorporated and soup is creamy.
• Add shrimp and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through. Be very careful not to over cook -- they are done when they turn pink. If you over cook, they will be rubbery.
• Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper to your taste if needed.
• Remove from heat and serve with some fresh parsley as garnish.

SPICY SHRIMP AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable stock, corn, sweet potatoes, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to onion mixture; bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
• Stir shrimp into stock mixture and return to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until shrimp are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Stir green onion into soup; season with salt and pepper.

CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH GINGERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• To make the soup, combine the sweet potatoes, 1 cup of coconut milk and the chicken broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Place in a food processor and puree until smooth. Mix in the remaining coconut milk and the salt. Reheat before serving, and stir in the lime juice and additional salt, if needed.
• To make the condiments, combine the ginger, lemon juice, oil and salt in a shallow dish. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the broiler. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place the bananas on a greased baking sheet and broil until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Place the shrimp, bananas, coconut, almonds and cilantro in separate bowls.
• Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Serve, passing the condiments, including Tabasco, separately.

PLAIN POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot over high heat. Add water to cover, about 1 inch over the potatoes. Boil for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Do not drain.
• Reduce heat to low and pour in the evaporated milk and the butter. Mash the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
