Broccoli Soup with Shrimp

Rinse, trim and cut broccoli into pieces. Peel potato, carrot, celery root, onion and garlic and cut all vegetables into cubes. In a pot, sauté prepared vegetables in hot oil, 1-2 minutes. Stir in fennel seeds and shrimp paste. Add Noilly Prat and broth and simmer about 20 minutes. Puree soup and strain through a sieve, pressing on solids. Bring soup to a boil and simmer a few minutes more or add additional hot broth until soup reaches desired consistency. Season with salt, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Add shrimp and cook until warmed through.
