NOTES:
* Fine pea soup with shrimp and champagne -- This is a recipe out of a German low-calorie cookbook. It is a simple recipe for a really delicate soup. It can be served as a festive appetizer or as a gourmet snack.
* The fresh spices can be substituted by dried spices.
* If you use canned shrimp, never let them boil. They would become tough and lose their delicate taste.
