Langoustine soup is a popular dish in European countries like Spain, France, and Portugal. It's usually served as an appetizer or a light meal. The dish resembles a seafood chowder but with a distinctive taste of spices and herbs. It's easy to cook and can be made with variation in vegetables or seafood depending on the personal taste and availability of ingredients.

Instructions

1.Clean the shrimp by removing the shells, head, and tail. Rinse under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2.Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and curry powder until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
3.Add water and fish heads or fish pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 30 minutes.
4.Remove fish heads or fish pieces. Strain the liquid and return it to the pot.
5.Add carrots, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
6.Puree vegetables and soup in a blender until smooth.
7.Return the puree to the pot and add cream and Tabasco sauce. Simmer for another 10 minutes until heated through.

PROS

This soup is rich and flavorful, perfect to satisfy your taste buds.
The cream and tomato lend a creamy yet tangy aroma to it, while the langoustines or shrimps offer enough protein to make you full.

It’s a great idea to warm yourself during winters or to enjoy a light meal.

CONS

The recipe calls for cream, which makes the soup high in fat and calories.

The langoustines are difficult to get outside Europe, and the availability of fresh shrimps can also be a challenge.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Langoustines have about 20g of protein per 100g and are an excellent source of vitamins A and B12. They are low in calories, which makes them a perfect choice for people watching their waistline and cholesterol levels.
The vegetables used in the soup contain a high amount of nutrients like potassium and fiber, which aid in digestion and protecting against heart disease.
