It has butter, cream cheese, green onions, cream of potato soup, shrimp, corn, and milk in it.
Did you feel your arteries just harden? I did.
So you start out by melting together the cream cheese and the butter, then you add in the green onions and simmer for 15 minutes.
Man it smelled so so good. And this is the part where I thought it was going to be something special.
Then you add in the cream of potato soup and the corn and simmer for 15 minutes more.
At this point I realized that it might not be something special.
After that you stir in the milk - the recipe says to add more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Then add in the shrimp - heat through and serve.
Because I halved the recipe, I thought about using a whole 1/2 cup of milk, but didn't get there because I still like my soups thick.
And I was totally and completely prepared to be blown away by this soup and give up all other soups for this one.
And honestly? It was kind of bland. I added salt and pepper to my bowl - but it didn't seem to help. It definitely needs some help - but I wanted to base my review and opinion on the recipe as written.
I wouldn't make it again. I didn't even finish my bowl.... Blech. (My dinner was a cupcake. For realz)
I guess they can't all be winners.
You can tell by my lack of enthusiasm how much I enjoyed it hey?
