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.
