Shrimp and Corn Soup

A tasty soup (There's a cook book that's titled (called as we would say it) First you make a Roux a term one often heard when being given their first instructions on cooking. I've cover this before in the gumbo recipe and on my landing page what and why roux is/are are the basis/biases for multiple recipes. (different color for different recipes; see directions below Gumbos call for a darker roux prep time 5 mins  Cooking time about 1 hour 20 mins  Serves 6)

the color comes from the tomatoes not the roux
