Total Time: 50 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 3 cups milk
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 cups small shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions:
-
Start with the Base: In a large 5-quart pot, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is fully melted, gradually add 5 tablespoons of flour. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it becomes bubbly and starts to develop a golden color, indicating that the flour is beginning to cook.
-
Create the Roux: Remove the pot from heat and slowly stir in 1 quart of chicken broth. It’s important to do this gradually to avoid lumps. Return the pot to the heat and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth, thick, and begins to boil.
-
Incorporate Dairy and Seasonings: Once the mixture is boiling and smooth, stir in 3 cups of milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the soup is fully combined and slightly thickened. Add in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of dill weed, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Mix these ingredients thoroughly into the soup.
-
Simmer to Perfection: Allow the soup to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until it is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
-
Add the Shrimp: Stir in 3 cups of small shrimp and cook for 1 more minute, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the Dutch Shrimp Soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
