How to Make Mommie's Corn And Shrimp Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, make a light brown roux by whisking together the vegetable oil and flour over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper to the roux. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the undrained corn and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover and cook slowly for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  6. While the soup simmers, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  7. Once the shrimp are cooked, add them to the soup.
  8. Continue to cook for 30 minutes.
  9. Stir in the green onions, parsley, Tabasco sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot with crusty bread and a fresh salad. Enjoy!
