chic chef: creamy shrimp & tomato chowder

It's been a while since I've shown off my culinary skills, so I figured it was time for my third installment of chic chef :)
I love soup and this was the first time I've ever prepared my own from scratch and it was delish! I'll definitely be making this again, perhaps with chicken or sausage next time.

WHAT YOU NEED:
  • *2 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
  • *1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • *1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • *2 14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, undrained
  • *8 oz. medium peeled cooked shrimp
  • *1/2 cup whipping cream
  • *1/2 cup water
  • *ground black pepper


WHAT YOU DO:
*cook finely chopped celery and onion in hot oil just until tender
*stir in tomatoes; heat through
*add shrimp, whipping cream, and water
*cook over medium heat just until hot
*season to taste with black pepper
*ENJOY!


This can be eaten with or without rice. I'm greedy, and therefore prefer it with the rice :)

    Love shrimp!!! This might be my alternative to clam chowder(never had it before, because I'm so scared I might be allergic to clams). Looks very tasty chef!
