  • Add potatoes and seasonings; cook until potatoes are tender, about ten minutes.
  • Add milk and shrimp; heat to scalding point.
  • Blend butter and flour together; add to soup and continue heating for 3 or 4 more minutes, stirring constantly to keep smooth.

  1. This is wonderful. It's rich without containing cream or half and half. I substituted bacon for the salt pork and crumbled it in the finished soup. It's reminiscent of an Oregon coast Mo's Chowder. Thanks for a new family favorite.
