The potato soup with shrimps recipe I present to you in this article.
You can put this soup on your own table in less than 30 minutes and give your loved ones a real treat.
North Sea Crabs taste absolutely great.
These shrimps are browner than other small shrimps.
You can prepare this soup with small, normal shrimps.
Besides potatoes I use carrots for the soup, because the sweetish taste of the carrot fits perfectly to the North Sea crab.
To make the soup a highlight on the table, I mix part of the soup before serving.
You can also prepare the soup with more inlay, in which case it’s already a potato stew with crabs.
Now I wish you good luck, share this article with your friends …

Here are some tips for the potato soup and what I think you should keep in mind:
- You can use raw or already boiled potatoes.
- Use some butter, shallots or onions, allspice and bay leaf for the soup preparation.
- Little garlic does well, don’t exaggerate!
- Add dry white wine and vegetable broth to the soup, let the soup boil, then let the cream run in slowly.
- Let the cold cream run in slowly into boiling liquid only, so the cream can NOT flocculate!
- Add the carrots, small and thin, cut into slices.
- Add the diced potatoes or already boiled potatoes pressed small and cooked over a moderate heat, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Fish the spices – bay leaf and allspice from the soup.
- Wash the prawns briefly under cold water.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan and brown.
- Arrange the soup, foam up part of the soup with cold butter.
- Heat the prawns briefly in the pan, it will only take a minute!
Arrange the soup and add the prawns in the middle.
You can decorate the soup with marjoram, thinly sliced young onion slices and chilli and then serve quickly.
