The potato soup with shrimps recipe I present to you in this article.

You can put this soup on your own table in less than 30 minutes and give your loved ones a real treat.

North Sea Crabs taste absolutely great.

These shrimps are browner than other small shrimps.

You can prepare this soup with small, normal shrimps.

Besides potatoes I use carrots for the soup, because the sweetish taste of the carrot fits perfectly to the North Sea crab. 

To make the soup a highlight on the table, I mix part of the soup before serving.

You can also prepare the soup with more inlay, in which case it’s already a potato stew with crabs.

Now I wish you good luck, share this article with your friends …
