For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. A splash of heavy cream at the end can add extra decadence. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup before serving. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gummy. Freshly grated nutmeg is preferred for its superior aroma and flavor. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat. Add the shrimp just before serving.
