This was a good soup, and I'm sure it would have been good as it is stated, but it gave me a basis to go by. I used a little frozen tomato instead of the paste, milk instead of light cream and cooked my shrimp in a separate pan with a little bit of garlic and paprika and then deglazed the pan with a splash of apricot brandy and a little white wine instead of the brandy it calls for in the recipe. I had to thicken the soup a little more because of my changes, but it was very good. My 20 month old even scraped her bowl clean. I would just be careful with the salt and add it at the end once you've tasted it first.
