Recipes from January's meeting @ Suzy B's home

Artichoke and Crawfish Soup (you can use 1 lb. medium devined, tail-off shrimp instead of crawfish)

1 bunch green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 stick butter
4 Tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 14oz. can artichoke hearts
2 cups heavy cream
1 lb. cleaned crawfish tails (or medium shrimp)
3 dashes of Tabasco sause

Saute onions and garlic in butter until melted. Add flour and blend well. Slowly pour in broth and mix well. Cut artichoke hearts into 4 to 5 pieces and add to mixture. Cook 30 minutes. Add seasonings to taste. If using shrimp, cut into chunks (about 3 pieces per shrimp). Add shrimp and all other ingredients and cook on low heat for 30 minutes. Serves 6.
