Potato puree soup with shrimp
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. If you enjoy creamy pureed soups, you can replace part of the broth with medium-fat cream. Alternatively, to achieve a creamy consistency, drop a few tablespoons of processed cheese into the hot broth and let it dissolve completely. For extra flavor, add a bit of garlic pressed through a garlic press. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
