<p>Soups are an important part of the home cuisine of Peru not only because they use the freshest ingredients available in the region, but also because large pots of soup are an economical way to feed large families. This shrimp soup, known as <em>Chupe de Camarones</em> or <em>Chiclayo</em> hails from the western coast of Peru in the city of Lima, where fresh shrimp are brought in by the Humbolt Currant of the South Pacific Ocean. Here, the broth is seasoned with tomatoes and spiked with a touch of hot red peppers, and then thickened with starchy vegetables, like large-kernel corn, yuca and potatoes, and finally rice. Shrimp add a subtle sweetness and a delicate briny taste to this outstanding soup.</p>

Best soup. Usually if I have fresh blue crabs available I'll add those to the soup. Lends amazing flavor. I also adjust the seasoning at the end to taste, mainly adding more garlic powder and salt if necessary. I usually use whatever veggies I have on hand since i don't always have yucca available. I skip the peppers, sometimes add red pepper flakes if I want some spice.

I know it?s obnoxious when someone reviews a recipe but didn?t follow it, but I couldn?t find the hot peppers, and we were trying to recreate a dish we had tried before so we left out potatoes, yuca and peas. I substituted 1 finely diced jalape?o and 1/3 finely diced bell pepper instead of the red peppers. It is a terrific recipe. It is going in our family recipe book so I can make it again!
