Shrimp Bisque



Shell, devein and mince 2 lbs. raw shrimps as finely as possible, or put them through a food processor, using the finest blade. In 1 Tbsp. butter, over very low heat sauté the shrimp for 3 minutes with a generous Tbsp. finely minced carrot and 4 Tbsps. diced mushrooms.
Transfer the mixture to a soup pot and add 2 cups strained, clear chicken stock, 2 Tbsps. finely diced celery leaves, salt and pepper to taste and a few grains of cayenne and nutmeg. Cook the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes over low heat and press it through a fine sieve into another saucepan. Bring the bisque to a boil and boil it for 2 minutes. Remove the soup pot from the heat and add 1 cup each of heated dry white wine and scalded cream. Adjust the seasoning, bring the bisque to a boil, and serve at once either in cups or in soup plates, without garnishing.
