This prawn potage is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in just an hour and tastes like you've been simmering it all day. Prawns are packed with protein and selenium, which is wonderful for your immune system, and they cook so quickly that the whole soup is ready before you know it. The beauty of this recipe is how forgiving it is, using simple vegetables and chicken broth as your base, then letting the prawns shine through with fresh herbs and a touch of cream. It's economical too, stretching a modest amount of seafood into a hearty, satisfying meal that feeds a crowd.
