Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Heat half the oil in a pan and sweat the onions and leeks until soft. Add the artichokes and sweat for a further two minutes.

Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the stock and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the artichokes are soft. Season, liquidise and pass through a fine strainer. Set aside and keep warm.

Heat the rest of the oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the shrimps. Season, drain off any fat and arrange them in soup bowls.

Bring the soup back to the boil, add the crème fraîche and liquidise again. Serve immediately.
