Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ¾ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ½ teaspoon celery salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ tablespoon tomato paste
- 8 fluid ounces clam juice
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
- ½- pound uncooked medium shrimp peeled and deveined (fresh or frozen)
- Fresh parsley leaves for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Sauté the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Slowly add the wine, then stir in the celery salt and paprika.
- Stir in the tomato paste and clam juice. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Puree the mixture in a blender or use a stick blender in the pot until smooth.
- Return the mixture to the pot, if needed, and then add the heavy cream, ½ cup of water, butter, and corn kernels. Add more salt to taste if needed.
- Cut the shrimp into bite-size pieces and add them to the soup. Continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the shrimp turns pink. Top with parsley, if desired, and serve.
Notes
For a thicker soup, you can add the butter to the empty pot while mixture is in blender then cook 2 tablespoons flour in the melted butter for about 3 minutes before returning the soup to the pot.
The recipe also works well with crabmeat, scallops, and lobster.
Leave out the seafood and add veggies. For more texture and flavor, different vegetables could be added, such as diced celery or green bell pepper.
Try a seafood seasoning blend like Old Bay seasoning instead of celery salt and paprika. Or, try making your own custom blend.
Use chicken stock, chicken broth, or shrimp stock instead of water for more flavor.
