This week's recipe is a day late. I did not have time to post yesterday because I was competing this Sunday in the Winter Wonderland Triathlon in Verona, Wisconsin. The event ran late and I got home later than I planned. The nice thing is I had this soup waiting. So instead of stopping for fast food I had something healthy at home.
Mexican Shrimp Bisque
1 small onion chopped
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups water
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup fat free half and half
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 chicken bullion cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup Greek yogurt
Fresh cilantro, cubed avocado
In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic and onion in the olive
oil until tender. Blend in the flour. Stir in water, half and half, tomato
paste, bullion cubes and spices. Bring
to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add shrimp to soup. Gradually stir in ½ cup of soup into the
yogurt. Return all to pan, stirring constantly. Heat, but do not boil. Ladle
into serving bowl and garnish with cilantro and avocado.
Serves 4
