Chupe de langostinos
Chupe de langostinos is a delicious Peruvian seafood soup made with langostinos, which are large prawns or crayfish. It's a flavorful dish that combines the sweetness of the langostinos with a creamy and hearty broth. The soup usually includes ingredients such as corn, potatoes, onions, garlic, and spices like aji amarillo, a popular Peruvian yellow chili pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 lb langostinos (large prawns or crayfish), peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon aji amarillo paste (substitute with yellow chili paste if necessary)
- 2 cups chicken broth or seafood broth
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup queso fresco or feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- fresh cilantro or parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they turn translucent and aromatic.
- Stir in the aji amarillo paste and cook for another minute.
- Add the chicken or seafood broth, milk, potatoes, and frozen corn kernels. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, usually around 15-20 minutes.
- Add the langostinos to the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
- Stir in the evaporated milk and queso fresco (or feta cheese) until the cheese is melted and the soup becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Chupe de langostinos in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Chupe de langostinos!
