For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. A swirl of cream fraiche or a drizzle of olive oil can make a big impact. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and omit the shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of paprika for an elegant touch. For a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup and stir it back in.
