ACAOF Meal of the Week: Corn, Shrimp & Kale Bisque- AC Art Of Food

I completely intended for this dish to be a chowder, but with the sweltering Georgia heat, I decided to thin it out a bit, lol!  

The base of the bisque is completely vegan and the shrimp can easily be replaced with a plant based alternative protein to overhaul this as a complete vegan transformation.

The flavor of the below combined ingredients blend together perfectly with outstanding flavor and texture.  A satisfying hearty soup, yet not too heavy to make you feel weighed down.  The freshness of the raw kale, and pops of sweetness from the fresh corn sing a melody of deliciousness to any palate.  

Allowing the shrimp to cook in the broth lends an authentic ease of preparation not negating from the true tenderness and full sea flavor that meld together perfectly in this bath of smooth scrumptious notes that dance on your tongue!

But hey, don't take my word for it- try it for yourself!
