Recipe Name: Big Ed's Cajun Soup
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
1 tbsp butter
1 chopped green pepper
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 clove garlic or more
3 cups tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (V-8)
1 8 oz. bottle clam juice
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c uncooked white rice
3/4 - 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Hot pepper sauce to taste
Instructions:
1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute green bell pepper, celery, onions, and garlic until tender. Stir in V-8 juice, clam juice, and water. Season with thyme, basil, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil, and stir in rice. Reduce heat, and cover. Simmer 15 minutes until rice is tender.
2. Stir in shrimp, and cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are opaque. Remove the bay leaf, and season with hot sauce if you desire.
(I used three 15 oz. cans of V-8 juice, and skipped the water. I also added a tsp. of sugar to get rid of the acidy taste.) I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and it had a 5 star rating and they were right. It is good soup and the bonus is that it is easy and low fat.)
