Steps
  1. 1 THE SHRIMP MIXTURE: Chop shrimp finely (by hand to a coarse-textured paste or in a meat grinder, with fine plate, or in a food processor to coarse puree). Add the onion, tomato, egg yolk, flour, oregano and salt, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until you\'re ready to finish the soup.
  2. 2 THE BROTH: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and fry until just browning, about 7 minutes.
  3. 3 Add the chile strips and tomato and fry for 3 or 4 minutes longer to reduce the liquid a little.
  4. 4 Stir in the broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes over medium-low heat to blend the flavors, Season with salt.
  5. 5 FINISHING THE SOUP: Fifteen minutes before serving, poach the shrimp in the gently simmering broth: Drop in rounded tablespoons of the shrimp mixture, simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes, then remove from the fire.
  6. 6 Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro. Serve with the lime wedges on the side.
