Tips:
- To make the creamiest soup, use a combination of heavy cream and milk. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use all milk, but the soup will be thinner.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to let it get tough. Cook it just until it turns pink and opaque.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Just be careful not to splatter yourself with hot soup.
- Serve the soup with a garnish of fresh parsley or chives. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Cream of shrimp soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
