2 tsp. filet powder
2 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped celery
2 or 3 tbsp. oil
1 med. onion, chopped
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 qt. of water
1 sm. can tomatoes or 1 fresh tomato chopped

1/2 lb. shrimp

Brown 2 teaspoon flour in oil in large saucepan. Add chopped onion to taste and saute; 1 teaspoon salt and 1 quart of water, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1 cup of chopped celery, small can tomatoes (1 cup). Too much tomato kills all other flavors; or use one fresh tomato, chopped. Add 1 small can red salmon, shrimp is optional. Bring all to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1hour. Season with filet (sassofras) powder just before serving. Serve with cornbread and rice.
