Technical Sheet

  • Estimated time: 35 minutes

  • Difficulty: ⭐⭐

  • Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 500g cooked white beans (canned beans may be used, well rinsed)

  • 300g peeled shrimp

  • 1 leek (white part only)

  • 1 small potato

  • 700ml vegetable broth or water

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1 chili pepper or a pinch of hot paprika

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Bonsalt

  • White pepper

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

  1. Cream base: In a pot with a tablespoon of olive oil, sauté the chopped leek and diced potato until tender. Add a pinch of Bonsalt .

  2. Cooking: Add the cooked white beans and the vegetable broth. Let it simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes so the flavors blend.

  3. Blending: Remove from the heat and blend with a hand blender until you get a very smooth, silky cream soup. If it is too thick, you can add a little more broth. Adjust the Bonsalt and add white pepper to taste.

  4. Spicy shrimp: While the soup rests, slice the garlic. In a skillet with the remaining oil, brown the garlic with the chili pepper. Add the shrimp and sauté over high heat until they turn pink and have absorbed the spicy kick.

  5. Assembly: Serve the hot cream soup in individual bowls and place a portion of spicy shrimp in the center of each one.

  6. Final touch: Drizzle with a few drops of the shrimp frying oil to garnish and add more flavor.
