Boil potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery in water for about 25 minutes. DO NOT DRAIN: DO NOT OVERCOOK! Meanwhile, make white sauce by melting butter, adding flour, and stirring constantly about 1 minute. Add milk; stir.

Add beef cubes that have been softened in a few tablespoons of hot water. Bring mixture to boil; let boil 1 minute. Mix white sauce and cooked vegetables together; bring to boil. Stir soup often to prevent sticking. Add shrimp; simmer for 5 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes; serve.
