SHRIMP A LA KING



Shrimp a La King image

I love cooking with soups. Sometimes I like making recipes from scratch but when in a hurry soup does the trick. This comes out of an old Campbell's cookbook called "Cooking with Soup". This is a fast and easy recipe to make and tastes great to boot. I know cream of shrimp soup is expensive but try not to substitute for another cream soup. It just won't taste the same.
