Soups and Stews


Shells from 2 cups of medium shrimp cleaned in cold water
1 cup large-chopped carrot
1 cup large-chopped celery
1 cup large-chopped onion
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bay leaf

For the shrimp broth: Put the shrimp shells, carrots, celery, onions, butter, salt, bay leaf and 10 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, making sure to skim off and discard any impurities that rise to the top. Strain the liquid, reserving 3 cups of the broth for the okra soup. Reserve the additional broth for another use.
