It seems like lately I am too busy training to write my blog. I am only a week away from my first of two National Championship races. So my training has to come first before writing.
It has turned really hot here this week. Today it was 96 F and humid when I was driving home from the pool. Not really good soup weather, but I had bought all of the ingredients already.
I sure it will taste good when I eat it for lunch in my air conditioned office. Hope you enjoy it.
8 ounces raw shrimp
3 cups chicken bone broth
1 large carrot chopped
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 large white onion chopped
3 cups of baby potatoes cubed
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
4 cups frozen whole kernel corn
3 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons Marsala wine
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 slices bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary
Cracked black pepper
Put the chicken broth and shrimp into a large soup pot. Place over medium heat and simmer until the shrimp turn pink. Remove the shrimp leaving the broth in the pot. Peel the shrimp and cut into bite size pieces. Set aside.
To the pot with the chicken broth, add the onions, potatoes and Old Bay Seasoning. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Add the celery and carrots and cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender crisp.
Take about 1/4 cup of the broth from the pot and mix with the cornstarch. Add the milk, shrimp and corn. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes to heat the corn through.. Add the cornstarch mixture. Simmer until the soup thickens. Add the Rosemary and season with black pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls sprinkled with crumbled bacon.
Serves 6
