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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 thick slices bacon, diced
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
3 leeks, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup frozen sweet corn
½ cup milk
18 large tiger shrimp
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Cook and stir leeks and celery in bacon grease over medium heat until leeks soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into leek mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker.
  • Place drained bacon, potatoes, chicken broth, 2 cups water, dried thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in the slow cooker.
  • Tie sprigs of fresh thyme together with kitchen string and add to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on High for 4 hours; add corn and cook for 1 more hour.
  • Reduce heat to Low; stir in milk and cook uncovered until slightly thickened, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water a boil. Cook tiger shrimp in boiling water until they are bright pink and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes. Drain. Allow shrimp to cool slightly before peeling.
  • Mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl until combined.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture into slow cooker and heat until the soup thickens, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir peeled shrimp and parsley into soup. Remove fresh thyme sprigs and season soup with salt and black pepper before serving.
