Preparation

Peel the shrimp, remove the intestines and set the tender meat aside. Rinse the carcasses thoroughly.
Heat olive oil in a large pot and fry the shrimp carcasses until they turn an enticing golden brown color.
Add finely diced onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Fry everything, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, add the tomato paste and roast for another 2 minutes.
Add the vegetable broth and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat. Simmer gently for about 30 minutes.
Strain the delicious soup through a fine sieve to remove the carcasses and solids. Return the clear broth to the pot.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently stir the cream into the soup to achieve a creamy consistency. The shrimp can either be added directly to the soup and simmered gently for about 3 minutes until they are pale pink, or fried in the pan for a few minutes. Divide the delicate shrimp soup into pretty glasses and garnish generously with fresh cress. A real culinary delight!

TIP: If you don't want to prepare the cream soup yourself, you can easily use our ready-made Bavarian shrimp cream soup . The soup is prepared in 5 minutes and, with a shrimp skewer as a topping, is the perfect alternative to this recipe.
