Shrimp Enchilada Soup

Information about Leona: Leona is from Bremen Indiana, and currently lives in South Bend Indiana. USA


Information about this recipe: I ate four bowls of this soup 😂 it was so good I couldn’t handle it! I saved a recipe someone posted, of a chicken enchilada soup and thought i would make it with shrimp. I read the recipe once and then lost it so I’m not sure I’ve made it exactly like it’s supposed to be. And honestly , the spice blend I got from my cousin Stephanie for Christmas magnifies the deliciousness in this soup. It’s a blend of garlic, sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, dried ginger, salt, pepper, dried onion, red pepper and sesame oil.

Ingredients
  • 2 Olive oil (suggested measurement)
  • 1 whole onion diced
  • 2 large cloves of garlic
  • 32oz vegetable broth
  • 15oz can green chilis
  • 10oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz bag of cooked salad shrimp
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 2 tsp Celtic salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 T Cumin (I REALLY like cumin 😂)
  • 1/2-3/4 cup of pepper jack cheese
  • For garnish & flavor enhancing:
  • Fresh pico de gallo
  • Natural sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sesame seed/garlic/Ginger blend
  • Avocado 🥑
Method
  • First I added olive oil to my pan (way more than 2 Tablespoons mind you 😂) Then I added the onion and cooked till clear.
  • Next I added minced garlic cloves and cooked until the garlic was fragrant
  • Next I added the chicken broth, enchilada sauce, chilis and all herbs except cilantro.
  • Taste and see if it’s all satisfactory, if not, add little more.
  • Being to a boil and then simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and zucchini, let it all simmer. I used frozen shrimp, so I simmered another 10 minutes to make sure the zucchini was cooked and then added the cheese and heavy whipping cream.
  • Taste soup again & if needed add more Celtic salt & pepper.
  • I added too much olive oil, as you can see at the top of the soup 😂, BUT I always use a good quality EVOO so it didn’t mess up the flavor at all. It was delicious!
