Step 1
Take a blender jar and pour the cream into it. The cream should be of medium fat content, as high-fat cream may turn into butter. Separate the yolk from the egg white, then add the yolk to the cream. Using an immersion blender, beat the cream and yolk until smooth and uniform.

Step 2
If you don't have fish broth, simply prepare it using fish tails and heads. Strain the broth and return it to the pot on the stove. When it comes to a boil, slowly pour in the egg-and-butter mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly.

Step 3
Remove the base for the future soup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour into portioned plates or bowls. Wash the arugula leaves and place a few whole leaves into each bowl.

Step 4
Boil the crayfish in slightly salted water until fully cooked (10-15 minutes). Then remove the chitinous shell and place the crayfish tails into the soup. Some people prefer serving the soup ice-cold, in which case add a few ice cubes on top.
