Sopa De Camarro (Shrimp Soup)

Ingredients :

* 1 pint of shrimp (live when available)
3 or 4 large onions
flour
butter
½ cup of white wine
salt
pepper
croutons of fried bread

Method :

Boil the shrimps in salted water and, when done, remove and keep the
water in which they were boiled.

Slice the onions, and cook with a little butter in a saucepan,
sprinkling with about 1 tablespoon of flour, and cook till it begins
to color, but do not let brown.

Stir well, and add the water in which the shrimps were boiled, and the
shrimps, from which the heads have been removed.

Pound the heads in a mortar with a little butter, rub through a sieve,
and add to the soup.

Season with salt and pepper, and serve with croutons of fried bread.
