1.

Add the potatoes and the chicken stock, increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. Cook 30 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until completely blended and smooth.
3.
Stir in the buttermilk and season again with salt and pepper. Set aside
4.
Add shrimp, radishes, chives, lemon zest and bean sprouts to a large bowl and mix gently until combined.
