Nutritional values
The essential oil and bitter and tannins from tarragon stimulate gastric juice production and thus digestion. The herb soothes the stomach lining and has antispasmodic and diuretic effects.
If you don't like shrimp, you still don't have to do without this delicious soup: It also tastes really good with fried chicken or tofu cubes. In this case, replace the fish broth with chicken or vegetable broth.
