LEEK AND POTATO SOUP WITH SHRIMP AND CORN



Leek and Potato Soup with Shrimp and Corn image

A sweet and fragrant broth-based soup, seasoned with fresh thyme and finished with a touch of milk. Shrimp and corn add sweetness, and the broth can be easily adjusted for richness - use milk to keep it light, or cream to give it more of a chowder consistency.

POTATO, CORN, AND LEEK CHOWDER



Potato, Corn, and Leek Chowder image

After experimenting recently with soups, I made this one and my family loved it. Using Frozen or Fresh Corn, a flour and milk roux instead of cream makes this soup a tad more heathlier and lower in calories. It's actually good for you. Make it creamy by puree it in the blender. In 30 minutes you have made a fabulous chowder.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/3 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped leeks (about 1 large *see notes for cleaning)
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 cups frozen corn (about 4 ears) or 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
2 lbs cubed peeled yukon gold potatoes
3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek, celery; cook 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.
  • Combine milk and flour in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Slowly add milk mixture to pan, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in broth, corn, potato, salt, and freshly ground black pepper and the old bay seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender.
  • Puree in Blender in batches for creamy consistency, if desired.
  • Top with additional Parmesan cheese, I also add parmesan croutons.
  • Enjoy with the family on soup night!
  • *Cleaning leeks:.
  • *You need to thoroughly clean the leek. First, wash the outside of the leek. Then slice off the fibrous green top, leaving the white to light-green stalk. Cut leek in half down to the root. Don't cut all the way through the root at this point. Then clean both "halves" under running tap water to remove any dirt that has accumulated inside. For this recipe, slice the cleaned halves down to where it's attached to the root, and discard the root.

LEEK AND POTATO CHOWDER



Leek and Potato Chowder image

This recipe is my tribute to James Crockett, the host of 'Crockett's Victory Garden' on PBS in the 1970's. Jim would raise leeks the size of baseball bats and brag about leek and potato soup. His skill in teaching gardening inspired me to pursue a career in horticulture. This version of your soup is my tribute to you.

Time 3h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 leeks
6 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
5 small red potatoes, peeled and diced
2 slices crispy cooked bacon, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup water as needed
1 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Clean leeks by cutting off the roots and the tips of the leaves. Make a vertical cut from the root end to the tops, being careful to not cut through completely. The leeks will now open like the pages of a book, and any mud can be cleaned out between the leaves under the faucet. Slice the cleaned leeks into quarter-inch strips.
  • Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute leeks in hot butter until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Gradually whisk flour into the melted butter until the mixture forms a clump of dough. Slowly stream chicken broth into the skillet, continually whisking until the broth is entirely incorporated; pour over the mixture in the slow cooker. Add bacon and potatoes to the slow cooker. Season mixture with salt and pepper; stir.
  • Cook on Low until the potatoes are soft, stirring water into the mixture if it gets too thick, at least 2 hours. Stir half-and-half into the mixture and continue cooking for 1 hour more.
