Soup Sunday Shrimp and Corn Chowder



I like to make something special for game day. We have game day twice a week in Wisconsin, first for the Wisconsin Badger game and then for the Green Bay Packers. It has been exciting watching our Badgers this year. As I write this I am watching them battle Minnesota for the Paul Bunyan axe.
It is 46 F here today, great soup and football weather. This is the perfect soup to have while you watch your team play!

1 1/2 cup frozen corn
4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon sea salt
8 ounces fingerling potatoes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb raw shrimp with shell
1 1/2 cups half and half


Put chicken stock in a stock pot. Add raw shrimp and cook on low heat until the shrimp turn pink. Remove shrimp from the broth, peel and set shrimp aside.

Add potatoes and corn to the broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender.
Return the shrimp to the soup and add the half and half.  Add the dried rosemary, salt and pepper.

Serves 4
