Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until it loses its bright red color, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the onion with flour and cook, stirring, until it forms a paste, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the broth and cream and stir until no lumps remain. Add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust the consistency of the soup by adding a little water if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with basil and black pepper.
