Ready in: 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 6 Russet potatoes, diced
• 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup milk, more if needed
• 2 (8 ounce) cans evaporated milk
• 2 cups half & half
• 1/2 tablespoon rosemary
• 1 tablespoon cooking sherry
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2 pounds cooked, deveined shrimp

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1. In a saucepan, combine potatoes, carrots, onion, mushrooms, garlic, parsley, 1/4 cup butter, and milk. Bring to a boil on medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer until potatoes soften (add more milk if potatoes absorb all the liquid before they’ve softened or if milk doesn’t cover potatoes). This should take about 10 minutes.
2. In a large soup pot, stir together evaporated milk, half & half, 1/4 cup butter, rosemary, and sherry. Add the cooked potato mixture and bring everything to a boil on medium-low heat, about 5 minutes.
3. Gently add shrimp to the pot and simmer 5 more minutes.
