Somewhat similar to a light seafood bisque, this type of soup is creamy and shrimp flavored. Made with cream or milk, water, cooked shrimp, sauterne wine, spices, and flavoring, Cream of Shrimp Soup provides a food item that can be served for lunch as a side dish to accompany sandwiches. Like many cream-based soups, Cream of Shrimp Soup can also be used to make sauces for casseroles or toppings for baked, grilled and roasted shellfish dinners. And, this soup is a common ingredient for use in appetizer dips.
