KittyKitty's Note:

Shrimp is a favorite around our house. My husband loves chowder. I made this recipe a quick one by using canned soup as the base, instead of having to make the whole base myself.

For using can soup I thought this was pretty darn good. I used mushroom as I had no potato. Also added some salsa to spice it up a bit. I cut my shrimp into thirds before adding to the soup. Quick, easy and good is a winner for me. Thanks KittyKitty
