Equipment

  • Baking Dish or Cookie Sheet
  • Immersion Blender or Regular Blender
  • Soup Pot

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Pound Raw Shrimp
  • 10 Fresh Tomatoes (cut in quarters)
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 small Onion bulb (cut up in large chunks)
  • 5 large cloves of Garlic
  • 1 small Habanero Pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup of Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup of Chicken or Vegetable Stock
  • 4-5 Tbsp of Balsamic vinegar
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Clean and cut up your tomatoes in quarters. Cut up your bell pepper and Onions in large chunks. Peel your garlic.
  • Brush some olive oil on the bottom of your baking dish. This would keep things from sticking to the dish.
  • Add your tomatoes to the dish and arrange in a single layer. Follow up with the red bell pepper, onions, habanero, and garlic. Top it up with a splash of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes are roasting in the oven, heat up some olive oil in your soup pan and use it to saute the shrimps in for about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.
  • Transfer the roasted components to the soup pot, add the chicken stock, cover the pot and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes of simmering, turn off the stove and let the tomatoes cool down for a minute or two. Using your immersion blender, blend to a very smooth consistency.
    If you don't have an immersion blender, you may use a regular blender to blend the ingredients and return it to the pat afterwards.
  • Return the pot to the heat and bring to a slow simmer. Add the heavy cream to the soup, along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to thoroughly combine.
  • Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the pre-cooked Shrimp to the soup and let simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot and Enjoy!
