I was looking for shrimp soup recipe and I am glad that I found one. Looks yummy. Going to try out this weekend.
This is an awesome recipe!
So glad you liked it! It is different and that is a nice change!
The instructions aren’t clear. When do I add the thyme? What do I setting do I use after adding the shrimp? Also, I think it’s better if you mix the flour into the milk before adding to the pot. This was a learning experience and i hope to make this dish again.
Hi, so sorry…I can see that I left off a couple of things!! Thanks for letting me know. I add the thyme when I add the broth and potatoes. Yes I can see that mixing the flour and milk together first may help. I try to keep things as easy and using as few pans, bowls, etc as possible! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Jamie
