Shrimp Cocktail Soup

If you like shrimp cocktail, you will like this soup. It is wonderful for summer because it is served cold.

2 qts. tomato juice
4 cups chopped celery
1 green pepper, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 bottles seafood cocktail sauce
1-2 Tbs horseradish
3 Tbs vinegar
2 Tbs worchestershire sauce
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1-2 lbs. tiny salad shrimp

Combine all inredients and refridgerate at least overnight. Will keep for several days in the fridge. (I leave out the green pepper because I hate green pepper. Also, I usually don't use all 4 cups of celery, especially if I use 2 lbs. of shrimp.)

Mandarin Salad

This is such a yummy salad!!!

2 pkgs romaine lettuce

2 green onions

11 oz. can of mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 c. slivered almonds

3 TBS sugar

Dressing

1/2 tsp salt

1 TB parsley

2 TB sugar

1/4 c. salad oil

2 TB vinegar

dash of pepper

In a small pan on medium heat cook almonds and sugar, stirring contatnly until coated.

Mix dressing and chill.

Combine oranges and salad and dressing right before serving.  If you do it too early the salad gets 'soggy'...  I think some red onions would be good in this too!!
