Sweet Potato Soup with Ginger and Shrimp

Sweet potato soup - dead easy

September 12th, 2018 | starter

Refined and yet so easy. Ginger, curry and turmeric give this soup that certain something. The shrimp make them suitable for a nice multi-course meal. Of course, it also tastes without shrimp. Lightning fast and just delicious.

Sweet Potato Soup with Ginger & Shrimp

2 shallots, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 TS oil

500 g sweet potatoes, diced

8 shrimp

2 sprigs of thyme

2 sprigs of rosemary

2 garlic cloves, pressed in the shell

2 TS olive oil

heat the herbs and garlic in the oil, fry the shrimp in each side for 1-2 minutes

put prawns on skewers and serve with sweet potato soup

And this is how the wife of the captain does it

The soup can be served wonderfully in small mason jars as finger food or on a buffet. Then I place the jars on a hotplate and arrange the shrimp skewers separately on a plate.

Scallops with Pasta and Champagne Saffron Sauce garnished with blood oranges

Scallops & champagne – as Christmas is coming soon again

I know some of you will think: “Now she goes mad, the wife of the captain – using champagne for cooking…” Let me say first of all: Yes, of course you can cook this wonderful dish also with Crémant or Cava. But for special occasions, even Champagne fits to perfect the scallops on Capellini with this velvety saffron sauce. The blood oranges make the icing on the cake not only optically. A dream of a starter!
