This is Not a Food Blog But...

I may post some recipes that have worked for me from time to time. I love this soup. It's called Sweet Corn Chowder with Shrimp and Red Peppers. Jon ate two and a half bowls. G ate two large bowlfulls. Jer ate maybe three or four bites (but he did eat all of this shrimp). Gray made a pretty good dent in his bowl. I had G pick up some hot French bread again on his way home from the office. Remember Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my days to stay home and G's days to work. I work Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Here are the ingredients;

2 TBS olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large potato, peeled and diced
1 whole bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried marjoram, crumbled
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups chicken stock or broth
1 can (17oz) cream style corn
1 can (17oz) sweet corn
2 cups milk
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 jar (7oz) roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
"Sweat" the onion in the olive oil. Add the potato, bay leaf, marjoram, nutmeg, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover. Keep at a gentle boil for ten minutes or until the pototo is just tender. Add all the corn, milk, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat then add the peppers and the shrimp. It takes maybe three minutes for the shrimp to cook. Be careful not to over cook the shrimp. Serve immediately. G did pick up some O'Douls Amber which is surprisingly good for non-alcoholic beer, and it's only 90 calories! I can't get over that.
