Dauphin Island Shrimp Bisque

[Radio]

I picked up this recipe from people who's RV was parked next to us when we went to Dauphin Island during Christmas break. My additions/notes are in parenthesis.

You will need:

1 stick butter (not margarine)
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
3 potatoes diced

1 cup chopped shrimp (I use almost twice that)

14 oz. chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 soup cans full of milk
(Old Bay Seasoning to taste)

In a large skillet use the butter to saute all of the veggies, when nearly done, add the shrimp to the saute. It's doesn't take long to cook the shrimp.

In a large pot mix up all the soup stuff and heat through. Add the sauteed ingredients. Keep this mix stirring and DO NOT let it boil. Season with Old Bay Seasoning to taste.

If you think the soup is too thin, thicken with flour. Kathy uses butter and flour to make sort of a gravy in the saute skillet. Added to the soup it thickens and picks up any flavors left in the saute skillet.

Serves a bunch of people.

That sounds delish! I'll have to give it a try, maybe this weekend. Surprise the fellow campers one evening.
