Creamy Tomato and Shrimp Chowder image

I find this absolutely addictive. It is super easy to make, yet tastes like it's been cooking for hours. With a nice salad and some ciabatta bread, it makes a satisfying meal. Or, it would make an elegant and awesome first course for your dinner party or special meal.
