- 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

directions
- 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.

Great soup! This soup is more of a "brothy" soup and not your typical "chowder" thickness. The changes I made are the following: I increased the garlic as I do with every recipe. I added another can of cream of corn and about a 1/2 cup more of chicken broth. I felt it needed more liquid. There was no flavor lost but I also accidentally added some chopped onion along with the spring onions b/c I was making 2 things at one time. I did add the sherry which I think made it a 5 star ingredient. My DH asked if he could take the leftovers for lunch the next day. I would double the recipe if you want leftovers.
