©MakeMineLemon – Cod and Shrimp Stoup

I was playing that old game I play in my head called PPP.  It stands for pick and put or purge when I ran across an old Rachel Ray magazine.  When you are playing this game you are not supposed to stop, or read or get distracted.

So while paging through that old Rachel Ray magazine that I do not remember where it came from, there is a recipe section marked 30 minutes meals.  She makes a recipe called Cod and Shrimp Stoup with Salt and Vinegar Mashed Potatoes.  Rachel calls it stoup.  It is thicker than soup and thinner than stew.

Sounds like my kind of recipe although I think it takes a little longer, but maybe I got distracted.  Maybe 30 once you have the mise en place.

This would make a great weekday meal or a cozy informal party.  I think you could/should prep up to the point it is time to add the fish and shrimp.

Peel your baking potatoes.  Start them in cold water, but cut the potatoes in smallish cubes so they will cook quicker.  When soft, drain; add butter, chicken stock, and white balsamic.  Taste for seasoning.

Then bring the stoup up to simmer; add cod. Cover and simmer 3 minutes.  Turn off heat and add the shrimp.  Replace the lid.  By the time the table is set it’s dinner.

I have never seen a soup that was served over mashed potatoes, but for some reason it sounded good to me.  Previously I served cod with tapenade on a bed of mashed potatoes and I thought it was great, but I think this would be good sans potatoes, or maybe over rice, or quinoa, or orzo.  Lots of possibilities – use what suits your taste.

For dessert make a 4-Minute Pie for your chocolate lovers, or Magic Custard Cake, or since it is apple season, try my Apple Cream Tart.

Thanks Rachel.  Now back to PPP.
