Shrimp puree soup
Description
A hearty first course. This is quite an unusual soup with an incredible consistency. You can use either water or broth—chicken or vegetable, for example—as a base. The cheese can be the kind in foil cups or regular processed cheese slices. Choose spices, dried herbs, or fresh greens according to your taste.
