"The secret to this recipe is the 1/2 teaspoon of liquid crab boil. Shrimp and/or crab can be used in this delightful soup." — Kristy

Directions

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Mix in onion, green onions, celery, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until tender.
Pour cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, 1 soup can of water, creamed corn, and frozen corn into pot. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Mix in shrimp, and cook until opaque. Stir in half and half and parsley. Reduce heat to low; continue to cook and stir 15 minutes. Mix in liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning and Creole seasoning; season to taste with salt and pepper.

This was as good as any restaurant bisque I have had in the past. I had nice blue lump crab meat, so I added it in the last 15 minutes. Also, I know that it has enough fat content already, but when making something for the fam for the first time, I go for all out taste - added a cup of shredded colby/jack cheese at end, and 1/2 can of rotel(suggestion from sis) (Tomatoes and green chile)... thanks! My shrimp and crab were glad they were not wasted!

This soup was REALLY good! My husband said it was the best thing I've ever made (and we've been together for 10 years). I didn't change anything about the recipe other than I didn't get the veggies very tender when sautéing them and we really liked the crunchiness that added later. I didn't have creole seasoning but had Penzey's Cajun seasoning and I used a teaspoon and a half of that. This is definitely a keeper and next time we'll add a can of crab meat to liven things up. Great recipe!!

I made this for our "SOUPER" Bowl party -- it was a big hit! I got find the liquid crab and shrimp boil, so I used a mixture of the Old Bay Seasoning and a little water, but I am sure that the real thing would have been super! Thank you

Outrageously Good! I am no cook, though I try really hard! I found this easy to make and absolutely delicious. My family, who is a hard audience to please, loved it! It is also such a pretty medley of colors when done. Very pleasing to the eye as well as palate. A+

I threw in some serrano peppers and hot sauce for an extra kick. I used skim milk instead of cream and it worked fine.

I didn't have any shrimp & crab boil so I just used extra Creole seasoning but otherwise followed the recipe as is and it was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!

I used this for my cooking business. I didn't put in the liquid shrimp and my client liked it without that, he did say that it wasn't as cajun as he thought it would be though, so I would add some more spice to give it a kick.
