Soup-er Supper Season
It’s officially fall and finally soup season – our favorite time of the year! The weather is becoming beautifully brisk, and a big pot of simmering soup is often on the stove. This hearty and satisfying Shrimp, Crab and Corn Soup from Holly Clegg’s Gulf Coast Favorites cookbook is one of our favorite creamy, heart warming soups! One-pot meals are great because they leave easy cleanup, without the hassle of tons of dirty dishes, they feed a crowd and can easily be frozen in batches for dinner another day. Definitely a must-try “soup-er” supper!

Southern Favorite Side Dishes and So Much More in Gulf Coast Favorites Cookbook
Shrimp, Crab, and Corn Soup is an easy, yet lusciously sweet, savory and creamy seafood soup. Purchase already-peeled shrimp in your seafood market or grocer to avoid the hassle of peeling them yourself. Claw crabmeat has a distinct sweetness and is a slightly brown color. It is less expensive and often used in soups, gumbos, and stuffings. If you would like, omit the crab and just add more shrimp – it is just as delicious!
