Corn and Shrimp Soup (Low-Fat) image

Have a hearty soup on the table in under 20 minutes. Delicious and very easy to prepare...even easier if using pre-cooked shrimp. For variety, add one can crabmeat when you add the shrimp. Optional asparagus adds a little color and great taste!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 fresh garlic clove, minced
1 (15 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth
1 teaspoon very low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules or 1 chicken bouillon cube
3/4 cup water
2 cups small shrimp, peeled
1/4 teaspoon basil leaves
1/4 cup dry sherry (not cooking sherry)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
5 cooked asparagus spears, cut into 1 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Devein, wash and rinse shrimp.
  • If shrimp are very large, cut them in half lengthwise. (This will make them curl nicely when boiled.) Drop shrimp into boiling water and cook just until they turn pink; drain. Do not overcook.
  • In a large pot lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, saute onions and garlic just until onions are translucent, but not browned.
  • Add chicken broth, water, basil, chicken granules, and pepper. If using asparagus spears, add them now. Stir and heat mixture until almost boiling.
  • Add corn, shrimp and sherry; stir to mix well, and heat 1 minute.
  • Serve.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used chicken instead. The soup was still very tasty.

I didn't have any fresh shrimp, so I used frozen shrimp. The soup still turned out great.

The soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.
