How do I render shadows but not surface?

I want to render the object and the object's shadow, but not the surface the shadow is cast on. I tried turning off "Primary Visibility" of the object receiving the shadows but that hid the shadows, too.

What am I missing?

Thanks user added image

apply a "Use Background" material.
