TIPS
· Sherry
is a wine which is fortified with brandy. Dry sherry is a good choice for this
recipe. After sherry is opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator.
· When
you puree hot soup, don't fill the blender more than half full. If too full,
the pressure from the steam can cause an explosion, forcing the top off of the
blender. To avoid that, puree any hot liquids in small batches, and hold the
blender cover on with a folded kitchen towel in hand.
Recipe
Variations
· Feel
free to add small cooked bay scallops or lobster instead of the shrimp.
· Replace
the green onions with finely chopped shallots.
· If
desired, garnish the soup with thinly sliced green onion tops, cilantro, or
parsley. Or add a spoonful of sour cream and swirl it.
