Cajun Potato Soup

2 lb New Potatoes (or Small Round Potatoes) 
1 lb Shrimp
1 pkg Crab Boil
1-1/2 c. Butter
1-1/2 c. Flour (all-purpose)
10-12 c. Milk
1-1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
3 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
12 Slices crumbled (cooked) Bacon
16 oz Sour Cream

This recipe came about when Debbie was sick and wanted soup and I thought it would be interesting to use the potatoes and shrimp left from a boil. Turned out really good. Hope you enjoy!

1) Boil potatoes in crab boil for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and boil for 5 more minutes. Set aside to cool, then dice all.
3) Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add flour, stirring until smooth.
4) Gradually add milk. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly.
5) Stir in the potatoes, salt, pepper, 2 cups of cheese, half of the bacon, and all of the shrimp.
6) Cook until well heated.
7) Add sour cream.
8) Serve with remaining cheese and bacon sprinkled on top of bowls of soup.
