Shrimp Corn Chowder

Saw a recipe in "real simple" for Shrimp Corn Chowder- but it tasted a bit "too" simple so I made it into a Manhattan chowder and added some Old bay - loved it!

Saute 2 chopped leaks and chopped fennel bulb in butter, Salt and pepper.

Add to Crock pot
- Spray of Olive oil
- 1 large potato - peeled and cubed
- half a bag of frozen corn
- 1 bottle of clam juice- 1 cup of chix broth
- saute of leaks and fennel
-1 can stewed tomatoes
- maybe a tablespoon of tomato paste-maybe a squeeze of anchovy paste

cook for 4 hours
-add cooked shrimp once potatoes are done
- mad dashing of old bay

  1. My review:
    I loved this soup! I served it with a crusty baguette and had it for 2 nights in a row. My husband- my in-house food critic gave it a thumbs up. Corn gave it a sweetness, fennel gave it a nice flavor. I would definitely make it again- hearty yet the old bay and shrimp give it a summery taste. Unfortunately my 5 year old - my harshest critic has yet to try one of my soups,,,,
