from Norway, from our friends Frank and Netti

Bring the milk to a boil with the stock cubes and herbs. If you don’t have any stock cubes (hard to get in Germany), I use 1 liter of whole milk and 1 liter of fish stock. Add the vegetables and simmer for a few minutes. Mix the potato flour with the cream and add it. Bring to a boil briefly, then reduce the heat and add the fish. Let it simmer for about 8 minutes. Finally, add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper, chili, sugar, and paprika. We always eat the soup on Good Friday. *In Norway, they have a special herb blend, so if you have the chance, feel free to bring some. If not, you have to get the herbs individually here and then mix them together.
