Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bell peppers, celery, onion, and jalapeno. Stir to combine. Continue sauteing for 5 or 6 more minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, and saute for 1 more minute until the garlic is fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Gradually stir in the chicken stock, and then add the tomatoes, rice, and spices. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for 15 more minutes, being sure to stir the soup occasionally.
Stir in the shrimp, and cook 5 more minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through. It should be pink and opaque, not gray.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. |
