About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Blend longer than you think — 2 full minutes in a blender gives a velvety, restaurant-smooth texture without extra cream.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Warm 1 tbsp oil in a pot; soften onion and celery 8 minutes. Add two-thirds of the garlic for 1 minute.

  2. 02

    Add beans, stock and bay leaf; simmer 15 minutes. Remove bay, blend until very smooth, stir in cream and season.

  3. 03

    Heat remaining oil in a skillet, add remaining garlic and chili, then shrimp; cook 1–2 minutes per side.

  4. 04

    Ladle soup into bowls, pile shrimp in the center, squeeze lemon and scatter parsley.
