LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk

Directions
 
  1. In a covered, large saucepan, cook the onions, carrots, cilantro, ginger, garlic, and allspice in hot oil over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a blender container or food processor bowl. Add ½ cup of the chicken broth. Cover and blend or process until nearly smooth.
  3. In the same saucepan, combine pumpkin, LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk, and remaining broth. Stir in the blended vegetable mixture and the 8 ounces shrimp. Heat the soup through and until the shrimp is warmed through.
  4. Ladle soup into soup bowls. If desired, thread additional cooked shrimp onto small skewers to top each soup serving along with snipped chives.
Notes

It is not safe to thaw fish, seafood, or any type of meat at room temperature. The best way to thaw frozen shrimp, is to place the unopened original container in the refrigerator and allow the shrimp to thaw overnight or place the wrapped package under cold running water until thawed.
