Cream of Kohlrabi Soup
Ingredients
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 pounds kohlrabi peeled and cut in small cubes
- chicken or vegetable stock
- heavy cream
- 12-18 small to medium peeled shrimp
- butter
Directions
Cook shallot in melted butter until translucent. Add kohlrabi cubes, plus chicken or vegetable broth to cover. Bring to boil with a pinch of salt, reduce heat, cover partially, and cook until tender. Puree in a food processor, then pass through a fine sieve to remove any fibers. Add heavy cream to taste. Keep warm without boiling. Meanwhile, sauté shrimp in a bit of butter until just cooked. Serve the soup in wide bowls, topped with the shrimp and decorated with herb flowers such as borage, coriander, or chives.
