This week it has been cold, rainy, and windy and with weather like this all I want to do is stay snuggled at home in my pjs, watching Netflix, with a cup of hot cider and a bowl of warm, comforting soup. This recipe for Shrimp and Potato Soup, garnished with bacon and cheese, is adapted from a recipe by the amazing Paula Deen. It is the perfect hearty soup for a cold winter night. Enjoy!

  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb medium shrimp peeled
  • Bacon crumbled for garnish
  • Cheddar cheese shredded for garnish
  • French bread sliced and toasted

    Very good, light soup that will not overfill you. I did make some changes. I did not use any flour/rou and I added plenty of bays seafood seasoning. Remember to NOT BOIL the milk when cooking the potatoes, it will scald/cuddle, just slow simmer! I also added some baked cod that was leftover in the frig.
