Cajun Shrimp Soup

I've been getting things ready for Thanksgiving, so I needed something easy to throw in the crockpot for Sunday dinner. Turned out to be a breeze to make and delicious for fall evening!

Cajun Shrimp Soup
3 new potatoes - I picked the larger ones, washed and cubed into bite size pieces
1 can of corn, drained
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
4 cups chicken broth
8-12 oz raw shrimp - I also cut these up into bit size pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream

Put potatoes and corn in the crockpot.  Sprinkle with the flour and seasoning.  Mix well and then pour in the chicken broth.  Normally I would use vegetable stock, but thought I would change it up a bit.  Cook on low for 4-5 hrs.  Turn heat to high and add the shrimp.  Cook for about 30 min. and then add the cream for another 15 min.

I served this with my famous cornbread muffin.  I mix up a box of Jiffy cornbread mix and put a hunk of pepper jack cheese in the middle.  Cheese gets all melty in the middle - Mmmm!
