Potato Shrimp And White Bean Soup Food

POTATO, SHRIMP, AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Cut leeks in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place in small bowl, and cover with cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to rid the leeks of dirt and sand. Lift out of the water, and drain.
• In a small stockpot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. To the stockpot, add the garlic, leeks, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and saute until the leeks are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and potatoes, raise the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer soup to a food processor, and puree.
• Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a clean work surface and, using a sharp knife, slice each in half lengthwise down the middle of the back, leaving tail on. Remove and discard veins; set shrimp aside.
• Transfer the soup back to the stockpot and place over medium heat. Add the skim milk and beans, and bring to a simmer. Raise heat to medium high, add the shrimp, and cook until shrimp are just opaque, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the soup among six bowls. Garnish each of the bowls with the diced red peppers and snipped chives, and serve immediately.

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.

TUSCAN SHRIMP WITH WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Drain the beans over a bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the white beans in a large skillet with just enough of their liquid to moisten them. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring the beans to a low simmer. Keep them warm while you prepare the shrimp.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and cook for about 1 minute, tossing frequently. Remove the shrimp with tongs to a bowl. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until the garlic browns. Add the serrano chile or chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and basil and stir briefly, then add the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, and then stir in the shrimp. Toss well and cook briefly to reheat the shrimp. Remove the shrimp mixture to a plate and sprinkle with parsley.
• Spoon the white beans on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle them with the best olive oil you have, and then top with the shrimp. Serve warm.

EASY SHRIMP AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat until melted and frothy. Add the shrimp shells and mash them with a spoon for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Pour in the water. Once the water begins to barely boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and discard the shrimp shells. Carefully wipe out the soup pot and return to the stove.
• Cover the tomatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Once the skins begin to split, transfer them to an ice bath. Once the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the skins. Transfer to a bowl and crush them with your hands.
• Heat the neutral cooking oil in the soup pot over medium heat until hot. Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until beginning to turn golden brown and soften. Add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, beans, and reserved shrimp stock (you might need to discard like half a cup, of the stock depending on how full the pot is). Bring to a low boil and season with the paprika, smoked paprika, the Amarillo paste, and more crushed red pepper if you want it a bit spicier. Taste and add a bit more salt and pepper, if needed. Cook over a low boil 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• During the last 10 minutes of the broth cooking, prep the shrimp. Take out half of the peeled shrimp and cut them into thirds.
• Add all the shrimp to the pot along with the cream and parsley. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque but not overcooked.
• Ladle the shrimp soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and more finely chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
