5. Peel the cooled shrimp, separating the shells and the meat, and toss the shells into the cooking soup.
6. When the soup has finished cooking, puree in a blender, solids first (including the shells), then strain back into the pot.
7. Take half of the reserved shrimp, puree them in the blender (slowly adding enough hot stock to completely emulsify them) and pour them into the pot.
8. Enrich the soup by whisking in the softened butter and the cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
9. Let sit, for flavors to blend, until ready to serve.
10. When ready to serve, sauté thin bread slices in butter until crisp and brown, then drain. Slice the remaining shrimp lengthwise and briefly sauté them over high heat with the Cognac or wine.
