Shrimp Bisque
6 cups water 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped 1 bay leaf 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1/4 tsp finely chopped garlic 1 tsp salt (or to taste) 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper (or to taste) 1 cup chopped shrimp 2 egg yolks 1/2 cup heavy cream Paprika
Bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes, onions, bay leaf, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes, adding the chopped shrimp for the last 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and put the mixture through a fine sieve, or puree in an electric blender. Return to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Blend the egg yolks and cream together. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the cream and egg yolk mixture. Garnish each serving with paprika. Serves 2 with plenty left over.
