Step by Step guide
Step 1
First, make the broth: place all the ingredients in a pot, add 2 liters of water, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. This can be done a few hours before you plan to make the soup.
Step 2
Add the shrimp or crayfish, as well as the large shrimp, to the cooled broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Remove everything with a slotted spoon and set the broth aside.
Step 3
Peel a few large shrimp for garnish. Cut the tails in half, place them in a bowl, and cover to prevent drying out. Save the heads and shells. Remove the heads from the small shrimp completely — they have too strong of a smell.
Step 4
Use all the remaining shrimp, their shells, and heads to make flavored oil: blend them together with the butter in a blender, place this puree in a mold, and bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 302°F.
Step 5
Pour the broth into a measuring jug and, if necessary, add water to make 1.5 liters.
Step 6
Now line the bottom of a colander with cheesecloth, place it over a pot, add the shrimp puree, and pour the broth over it: squeeze the cheesecloth well. Pour the remaining broth from the jug into it — except for a small amount that you need to mix with the rice flour.
Step 7
Add the cognac to the pot and heat slowly. When it becomes hot, pour in the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly for 5–10 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
Step 8
Pour the cream into the soup bowl and add a little hot soup on top to prevent curdling. Add the remaining soup and garnish with shrimp tails. Serve immediately.
