Just Taste The Soup

[Snaggletiger]

Worked up my own concoction last night.  A variation on a recipe I saw. 

Get a big dutch over...big boiler.  Cut up 8 slices of bacon and cook until crisp.  Take the bacon out and add two tablespoons of butter to about 2 tablespoons of the drippings.  Melt it down and add:

3 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper
1 chopped red or yellow bell pepper

Cook those together for about 3 minutes and add 6 cups of chicken broth and chopped up new potatoes or yukon gold potatoes.   Put in a teaspoon of seafood seasoning and a little hot sauce of choice.  Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.

Add 1 1/2 pounds of peeled and de-veined shrimp and cook for a few minutes then finish off by adding the cooked bacon back in. 

Get a big spoon and get ready to pig out.

It was mighty tasty and the house still smelled good this morning.  I'm normally teh suxxors in the kitchen but with this, I didn't see where I could go wrong.  Just put a bunch of killer flavors together and boil the fool out of them.  The original recipe did call for onion but I'm just not a fan.

Stone soup

Ingredients:

Go to a village, convince self-sufficient villagers into donating from their personal stores to a communal crock.  Offer nothing from yourself, other than a stone you pick up from the ground outside their village.
