Directions
About 45 minutes before serving, in dutch oven heat salad oil; in it sauté garlic and onion until golden (about 10 minutes).
Add tomatoes, potatoes, chili pepper, seasoned salt, 1½ teaspoon salt, red pepper, hot sauce, 3 cups water, 1 cup milk; stir occasionally, while bringing to a boil, then simmer, covered, 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in 1½ cups water and ½ teasp. salt in skillet, simmer flounder fillets 6 minutes, or until fork-tender but still moist.
Also, beat cream cheese with ¼ cup milk until very smooth.
Now stir cream-cheese mixture, then shrimp and corn, into soup; cook over medium heat 5 minutes.
Next, drain flounder fillets, divide each in half crosswise, then place a half in each of 6 soup plates.
Spoon hot soup over fillets, garnish with mint sprigs and serve at once.
