Shrimp and Eggplant Soup Click image to enlarge |
Melt the butter in a stockpot over medium high heat and add the onions, eggplant and tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables about 5 minutes, until the onions become caramelized. Whisk the flour into the mixture to make a roux. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring. Slowly add one gallon of water, whisking constantly. Bring the soup to a low rolling boil and cook for 20 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
