Shrimp soup

4 servings

45 minutes

Shrimp soup is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines marine and vegetable notes in a harmonious flavor. This soup traces back to Mediterranean gastronomy traditions where fresh seafood serves as the base for light, aromatic dishes. Sautéed onions add a soft sweetness, while the combination of tomatoes, celery, and red pepper fills the soup with rich flavor. Potatoes add heartiness, and shrimp provide delicate marine freshness. Bay leaves and green onions complete the aromatic composition, making the soup particularly fragrant. It can be served with crispy baguettes or soft bread to highlight the richness of flavor. An excellent choice for a light dinner or festive lunch.
