Shrimp Soup Brasilian style

I love this soup. Simple and hearty and easy to cook.

I never made a soup with only a large amount of shrimps as the main protein. Mostly fish and a couple of shrimps for additional flavour.

Rice is just enough to give some texture. It does not make it in to some kind of stew. 

The soup has a good tomato base and due to the other veggies it is healthy.

Recipe for 3:

300 g defrosted raw shrimps

1 red bell pepper, 1 large red onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 celery stalk, 1 red chili, salt, pepper

1 can whole tomatoes, 1 1 /2 cans of water with veg stock paste, 1 tsp dried chili flakes

80 ml cream, 1/2 cup of long grain rice, parsley, lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil

Chop all veggies and saute them in oil for 5 min. In with the rice. Add tomatoes and fill the can with water and add veg stock paste. Season with chili flakes, salt and pepper. Cook for 10 min.

Cut up the shrimps once or twice and add them with the cream. Cook 3 to 5 min on low, add lemon juice and parsley.

I dropped my last 3 quail eggs in for extra protein.
