Welcome to my first non-dessert recipe on the blog. I figured I would start sharing some of these from time to time. I love to bake, but I love to just regular old cook too. I have a ton of dishes we make on repeat and my friends have always asked for recipes, so here you have it. First up is our famous Corn Shrimp Chowder recipe.
This is my favorite soup/chowder of all time. I could probably eat the entire pot if I knew people wouldn’t judge me or if I could wear stretchy pants for several days. I think my mom got this quick corn chowder recipe from a lady she was in Junior League with back when I was little and we morphed it into our own.
The best part about this corn and shrimp chowder is that it’s incredibly easy to make. Nearly every ingredient comes in a can, so you basically just dump everything in a pot and let hangout for a few hours.
It’s the perfect fall dinner recipe that is cozy, comforting and easy to make even with hungry and tired kids around!
Let’s take a look at just how easy this meal is to make.
How to Make Shrimp Corn Chowder
There are so many ways to make a quick corn chowder. From a classic traditional chowder to corn chowder with bacon, chicken or in this case, shrimp! The thing I love about this recipe is that it takes literally minutes of active work. Then you get to work on something else (or, I don’t know, sit and relax!) while it bubbles away.
To make this corn shrimp chowder recipe, all you have to do is gather your ingredients:
Onions
Garlic
Celery
Butter
Frozen salad shrimp (thawed)
Canned cream of potato soup
Canned sliced potatoes
Canned corn
Canned evaporated milk
Simply saute the onion, garlic and celery in some butter until it gets golden brown then dump in the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer. It’s no wonder why this is a favorite weeknight meal in our house!
When it’s ready, serve it up in a bowl with the toppings of your choice.
How to Serve Shrimp Corn Chowder
The sky’s the limit when it comes to serving this easy soup recipe! I like to put shredded cheese and Club crackers in mine to make it a thick true chowder. But it could easily be topped with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, bacon, any kind of cheese, crispy onion straws, fresh sliced green onion….the list goes on!
I don’t know about you but I am getting hungry for this corn shrimp chowder!
