Cheese Cream Soup with Shrimp

Indulge in the creamy goodness of Cheese Cream Soup with Shrimp, a delightful dish that combines the richness of the cheese, the succulence of shrimp, and the comforting flavors of potatoes and carrots. This recipe is perfect for those looking for a flavorful and satisfying soup to enjoy.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

- 2-3 potatoes

- 1 carrot

- 6-12 shrimp

- 100-150g processed cheese

- 10-20% cream (such as @alpro)

- Lime juice or lime slices

- Microgreens (Marigold microgreens from @mikrozalumi)

- Hard cheese (optional, for garnish)

- Blue cheese (optional, for garnish)

Begin by marinating the shrimp in lime juice and spices of your choice, such as salt, pepper, and dried garlic. Let the shrimp absorb the flavors while you prepare the rest of the soup.

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots, then boil them until they are tender and cooked through. The vegetables will add a delightful texture and natural sweetness to the soup.

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the processed cheese and cream to the pot. The combination of these ingredients will create a luscious and velvety texture, making each spoonful a delight.

Using a blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. This step will ensure that all the flavors meld together beautifully, creating a harmonious soup base.

Now it's time to cook the marinated shrimp. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque. This will only take a few minutes, so be careful not to overcook them.

To assemble the soup, ladle the creamy cheese base into serving bowls. Add a few cooked shrimp on top, allowing them to float in the creamy goodness. The shrimp will infuse the soup with their delicious flavors and provide a satisfying seafood element.

Garnish the soup with a squeeze of lime juice or a few lime slices for a refreshing citrus kick. Sprinkle some microgreens, such as Marigold microgreens, on top to add a touch of freshness and visual appeal.

For those who enjoy an extra layer of flavor, consider grating some hard cheese or adding crumbled blue cheese on top as a final garnish. These cheese options will add depth and complexity to the soup, taking it to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Serve the Cheese Cream Soup with Shrimp while it's still hot, allowing the flavors to meld together and the aromas to entice your senses. This soup is perfect for cozy evenings or as a starter for a special dinner.

The beauty of this soup lies in the carefully chosen microgreens, which add a unique and fresh touch to the dish. The vibrant colors and delicate flavors of the microgreens elevate the soup, making it a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. I highly recommend trying this soup with the suggested microgreens to experience its true essence.

Whether you're a seafood lover or simply enjoy a comforting bowl of soup, this Cheese Cream Soup with Shrimp is a must-try. Its creamy texture, harmonious flavors, and delightful garnishes make it a standout dish that will impress your family and friends. Give it a try, and savor the comforting and indulgent flavors of this delightful soup.
