Shrimp Soup

I just ordered his with my sushi. I got a bowl of leaves and watery tasting broth. Basically it sucks. Don't order shrimp soup if you want anything resembling soup with or tasting like shrimp.

Same with lobster soup, I made that mistake. Except there were eggs in it. Very nasty.

There's many lobster soups that are amazing. Let's be more specific here.

For shrimp soup I think you went with the wrong cuisine. Try a good thai joint and get Tom Yum w/ Shrimp. No watery tasting broth if lemongrass and kaffir lime is involved. This picture is pretty good but I can't vouch for the recipe.

Tom Yum

Im not to sure, I rarely eat chinese food, but what should I order that is good? The takeout menu just said lobster soup....sounded interesting, then I got it. It was grey water, with some type of vegetables, lobster, and boiled eggs.

Perhaps your shrimp soup was simply heated up shrimp water. I'd suggest finding a new restaurant!

Are you including bisque? If so, your statement is obviously true, but is something listed on the menu as "lobster soup" really ever good?

I'm specifically including bisque.

I would never order anything anywhere called "xxx soup". Just sounds iffy.

Jerry: But you yada yada'd over the best part.
Elaine: No, I mentioned the bisque.
