Soups On!

I have been inspired to warm up my home by Teresa at Meadowbrook Farm making her chicken noodle soup and Kerrie at the Sea Cottage baking her oatmeal cookies. Since I have all the ingredients on hand I will make my...

Shrimp and Corn Chowder

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup diced green pepper and red pepper

1 cup chopped celery

2 tbps olive oil

2 cups chicken stock (add 1/2 cup more later if the chowder is too thick)

1 1/2 - 2 cups half-and-half milk (small container)

3 potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can Campbell's Cream of Potato Soup

4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed (shown with yellow corn, but white corn is even better)

4 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

2 lb bag of Costco raw frozen shrimp, thawed and shelled (cut them in half so they are bite-size)

chopped cilantro

pepper

-In a medium stockpot, heat oil and saute onion, peppers and celery about 10 minutes, stirring.

-Add hot chicken stock, half and half milk, and potatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 minutes.

-Add can of cream of potato soup, corn, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring back to a simmer about 10 minutes.

-Add shrimp and cilantro, simmer until shrimp is cooked. Season with pepper.

Enjoy with some warm crusty sourdough bread!
