Corn and Shrimp Chowder

From Good Housekeeping

This rich and tasty soup makes a delightfully satisfying meal on a cold night. We save time by boiling the potatoes while the bacon-and-onion mixture cooks. Buying cleaned shrimp is a time-saver too.

Ingredients

U.S.

Metric

Conversion chart

• 1 pound(s) (3 medium) red potatoes , cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1 can(s) (14 1/2-ounce) chicken broth, (1 3/4 cups)
• 1 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
• 2 package(s) (10 ounces each) frozen whole-kernel corn
• 2 slice(s) bacon
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 pound(s) large shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1 cup(s) half-and-half or light cream
• Fresh chives for garnish

Directions

1. In 4-quart saucepan, heat potatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and 1 cup water to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 10 minutes. Add 1 package frozen corn and cook 5 minutes longer or just until potatoes are fork-tender.
2. Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 5 minutes. Add onion and cook 10 minutes longer or until onion is golden and tender. When bacon is browned, transfer to paper towels to drain; break into pieces when cool.
3. Add 1 cup water and remaining package frozen corn to skillet with onion; heat to boiling over high heat. Add shrimp and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque.
4. When potatoes are tender, remove 2 cups potato mixture to blender. At low speed, with center part of cover removed to allow steam to escape, blend mixture until pureed. Return pureed mixture to saucepan. Add shrimp mixture and half-and-half; heat through (do not boil or soup may curdle). Top with bacon, and garnish with chives.

Potpourri HATE...

When the weather gets chilly, I auto-pilot into stews, stocks, and soups. It's a great way to clear the fridge of those lurking veggies that are feeling "not so fresh". My disdain for potpourri is eclipsed by my love of the smell of a stewing pot on the stove. Here's some recipes from The Frugal Cafe:

Brrrr - But I'm Not Bringing The Habaneros Inside Yet....

Yes, when the temp dips into the 50's and Texans suddenly smell like moth balls, I'm caught in that old quandary: When to move the plants inside. And as always, according to the Procrastinator's Handbook, the suitable time is after the heater has made its fledgling, dusty start up. So my old bones and my verdant peppers will tough it out a few more days....
