Recipe View 5 mins Stir in the milk or light cream and add the chopped shrimp. Gently heat the soup over low heat until it is just heated through. Be careful not to boil, as this can toughen the shrimp. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

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.
