Curried Shrimp Soup

Curried Shrimp Soup | Bijouxs Little Jewels

This is one of the easiest soups to make and very tasty too! This classic Curried Shrimp Soup No. 663 from the Membership Collection is one to savor.

FOOD MEMORIES

This soup came from a dear friend’s daughter who was young at the time and had just started cooking, but we all loved her soup. It has been many years now, my dear friend has passed on, but her daughter remains. This simple soup is a treasured recipe memory.

CURRIED SHRIMP SOUP

I shared this recipe in my cookbook FROM THE BEACH HOUSE.

It was actually posted over 15 years in my blog here.   The soup pictured, Seafood Chowder, contains clams and some vegetables, but is the same broth base.

Today I have morphed the original into this lovely Curried Shrimp Soup. Smooth with just the gentle hint of curry is what sets this soup apart. I included  a bit of clam juice for umami flavor.  Cook Curried Shrimp Soup and begin making your food memories.

Cheers.

SUMMER FRUIT

This beautiful chilled soup is a refreshing bowl for the summer table. A soup so simple to create and a great take-along on your summer outings. Tomatoes, watermelon chunks and fresh strawberries are quickly blended and chilled. Serve with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, strawberries and edible flowers from the garden.

CHILLED GAZPACHO

Typically Gazpacho is a vegetable based cold soup, with tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. But Summer Gazpacho brings together all of the favorite fruits of summer, blended and chilled for a just slightly sweet soup. The tomatoes and jalapeño balance the sweetness of the watermelon and strawberries. I used a combination of tomatoes and colorful yellow and gold cherry tomatoes which gives the soup the lovely orange hue.

ENGLISH GREEN PEAS I can't think of any vegetable that announces Spring like fresh green peas. This is a simple soup, just place frozen peas in the blender with boiling water and voilà, the chilled soup is ready. VELOUTE´ These French soups are typically created with stock and a roux, but this Little Jewel comes together smooth and creamy with just a flick of the blender. The frozen peas are whizzed with boiling water in the blender, then set aside to fully chill in the refrigerator. Perfect. GOAT CHEESE & EDIBLE FLOWERS The crowning jewels to this soup are slices of herbed Goat cheese and a sprinkling of edible flowers. The goat cheese logs are fairly common, if not just roll a plain log in some of your favorite dried herbs. I usually try to grow edible flowers in pots, but the gloomy beach weather has postponed Spring planting. I found these edible flowers at, where else, Trader Joes.
