In medium sized saucepan saute the following in 2 Tablespoons oil:
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 cup chopped green onions
\n\u00bd pound scallops, bite sized (cut if too large, I buy the small ones for this soup)<\/p>\n
Saute until just softened not browned. Remove from pan.
\nIn same pan combine over medium heat until warm and smooth:
\n1 \u00bd cups milk
\n8 ounces cream cheese
\n1 can cream of shrimp soup (can also use cream of mushroom but I like the shrimp flavor better)<\/p>\n
Use a wooden spoon or whip to blend these together until a smooth warm mixture.<\/p>\n
Add to the above soup:
\n1 cup shredded carrots (can also use chopped carrots)
\n\u00bd cup diced cooked potatoes
\n1 teaspoon chopped parsley (dried works also)
\n\u00bd teaspoon pepper
\n\u00bd teaspoon cayenne pepper
\n\u00bd teaspoon thyme
\n1\/4 teaspoon marojam (if you don\u2019t have this it is okay – not sure how it changes the flavor but I have made it both ways and don\u2019t miss it)
\n\u00bd pound shrimp (I like the mid sized which is closer to bite size but if you only have large just cut them in half)
\n\u00bd pound white fish (or salmon can be used as well)(I usually use tilapia, catfish, cod or swai)<\/p>\n
Add the garlic mixture and stir well until well heated. I serve it with toasted bread or garlic toast.<\/p>\n
You can also add \u00bd pound of crab or clams but I never have and \u00bd cup chopped bacon but I don\u2019t add that either.<\/p>\n
Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
