Corn soup cream puree with shrimp

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook corn soup with shrimp? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. We use canned corn, but it can be replaced with fresh or frozen. The weight of canned corn is indicated in its pure form without liquid. These are 2 cans. However, this may increase the cooking time. Chicken broth can be replaced with vegetable or plain water. Olive oil can be replaced with another vegetable oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-defrost the shrimp, peel off the head and shell. I left the tails for a beautiful presentation. They can also be removed.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the onion into cubes. Their size is unimportant, since at the end the soup will still be crushed with a blender.

4. Step 4:

   

   Finely chop the garlic.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a saucepan with a thick bottom over medium heat, melt some of the butter. Put the onion and fry, stirring, until transparent for about a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and fry all together for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

6. Step 6:

   

   Heat the olive oil and the remaining butter in a frying pan. Lay out the prepared shrimp and fry until golden brown on both sides. Transfer the finished shrimp to a plate. Instead of shrimp, you can use scallops or other seafood.

8. Step 7:

   

   And pour the remaining oil in the saucepan into a saucepan to the onion.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add canned corn to the pot. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth (or water) and heavy cream. Add salt to the soup to taste and mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Bring the soup to a boil and simmer under the lid for 20 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Whisk the finished soup with an immersion blender until smooth puree. Determine the degree of uniformity of the soup according to your taste. The mashed soup allows for the presence of small pieces of corn. Cream soup is a homogeneous smooth consistency. If the soup turns out to be very thick, it can be diluted with boiling water or hot broth to the desired consistency. Or vice versa, you can boil it if you want a thicker consistency.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour the soup on plates, put a few pieces of fried shrimp on top and garnish with herbs. Bon appetit!
