¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Combine all spices in a bowl and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in medium-heat in a large saucepan. Add in the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the spices. Stirring constantly cook for a 1-2 minutes. Add in the minced ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly.
Stir in the Thai chili sauce and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute or so.
Add in the tomatoes, salt, sandwich bread and bay leaf. Let it come to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Fish out the bay leaf and discard.
Working in small batches, puree the soup in a blender. Alternatively, you can use a hand /immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot.
Stir in the sugar and chicken stock. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for 5 minutes or so. Right before serving, stir in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning and add more if necessary.
While the soup is cooking roast the shrimp. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the shrimp on a baking sheet. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with cumin, salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes making sure to rotate the shrimp halfway through the roasting process.
When ready to serve, ladle soup in a bowl. Place 3 pieces of shrimp in the middle of the bowl. Sprinkle it with fresh chives. Drizzle it with a glug of oil and heavy cream, if using.
Serve immediately with a few slices of crusty bread.

Notes

* If you have a spice grinder, I would recommend using whole spices and grinding them all together.
