In small batches, puree in a food processor. Return soup to the pan and season with salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
Cut the remaining shrimp into small chunks and add to the soup. Simmer gently until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

While I agree that there could be more flavor, I didn't really find this to be too bland. I used a good wine which probably helped and added ample salt and pepper. Maybe instead of wine use a good chicken stock and some sherry.
very bland not alot of flavors. not bad just dissapointing.
