Ingredients

  • 4 sourdough bread loaves (medium-sized)
  • 1 lb shrimp (or mixed seafood), peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread Bowls:
    • Cut a circular top off each sourdough loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges. Set the tops and hollowed bread aside for dipping later.
  2. Cook the Seafood:
    • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp (or chosen seafood) and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Remove the seafood and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables:
    • In the same pan, add the remaining butter and sauté the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Make the Creamy Base:
    • Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
    • Gradually pour in the seafood stock while stirring constantly. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  5. Add Cream and Seasoning:
    • Stir in the heavy cream, paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.
  6. Combine Everything:
    • Return the cooked seafood to the pan and stir gently to combine. Add the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
  7. Serve in Bread Bowls:
    • Ladle the hot soup into the prepared bread bowls. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve immediately with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
