Shrimp and Corn Soup

[ssba]

Shrimp and Corn Soup – A great Louisiana soup recipe with a tomato base.
Cajun Cookin

Hey everyone!  It’s time for another Cajun Cookin’ post where I show you guys a little bit of my Cajun culture.  Down here shrimp are very plentiful, so we pretty much put them in everything.  When it begins to cool down, or as we like to say, have a little “Gumbo Weather,”  my family sometimes makes this Shrimp and Corn Soup instead.  Now we all love our gumbo, but every now and then we like a little change.

Shrimp and Corn Soup - A great Louisiana soup recipe with a tomato base.

Think of this as a Cajun vegetable soup.  It’s so good with crackers, and it will be perfect for the upcoming chilly nights.

    I love that you share all of these amazing cajun recipes, Jaren. This soup sounds so good, and I have pretty much everything to make it except for the shrimp and potatoes. Think I’ll have to pick those up so I can make this soon! OH and I saw the top of your SNF post and I am so glad to hear you’re okay after that PB scare! Good thing you were able to get out of there and get to the pharmacy right away. Those allergies are no joke. I hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing and uneventful!
