Spicy Shrimp Soup

IMG_2850Blog

 

Shrimp Soup’s on!

 

IMG_2846Blog

 

Matt is feeling like he’s getting sick, so I planned a spicy, brothy soup for dinner tonight. It features the Key West wild caught frozen shrimp I picked up from Whole Foods along with tons of veggies and spice.

Spicy Shimpy Soup

This soup is souper healthy and ready in a flash! Mix and match whatever veggies and meat you have on hand.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 Big Bowls
Author Kath Younger

Ingredients

  • 1-2 tsp olive oil
  • About 20 frozen shrimp or fresh!, peeled
  • 1 small or 1/2 large bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 cup bean sprouts or snow peas
  • 1 broccoli crown chopped
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp ground or freshly chopped ginger
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 grinds black pepper
  • Sriratcha chilli sauce for garnish

Instructions

  • Add some olive oil to a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat
  • Sautee veggies for 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
  • Add broth and shrimp.
  • Add spices.
  • Bring to just below a boil.
  • When shrimp are pink, soup is ready!

 

My only complaint about these shrimp was that they were teeny! They shrunk so much in the soup. But I guess that worked out well so they’d be bite size on the spoon.

Rosemary Garlic, oh I love you so much. Especially when the butter has melted in to provide juicy bite after juicy bite!

Afternoon snack – oikos + cville cluster. This was one of those tedious “It’s so late I’m going to spoil my dinner but I’m so hungry” snacks. I could have eaten 10x this much, but I’m glad I just had something to tide me over or I would have never been able to fit all that soup!

Overnight oats are a’soakin’!

    Key West has the best seafood I’ve ever tasted. With the possible exception of NYC.

    I’ve got some overnight oats soaking too. Sticky toffee pudding overnight oats, to be exact: chopped dates and pecans, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chias.

    Feel better, Matt!

    You may know this already but garlic is antimicrobial, antiviral, antibacterial…so the rosemary garlic bread has health benefits.

    As does the ginger in the soup. Also similar benefits.

    Just excuses to eat more of each. They look great! 🙂

    You NEED to buy some oil of oregano for this cold & flu season! I was home with a bad cold Tues and Weds but I’m 98% better today, and I largely attribute that to my oil of O. Usually a cold leaves me with a runny nose and cough for at least a week after the worst part has passed, but I have zero congestion today and my cough is totally gone. I’m telling you, this stuff is a miracle cure! (and like all things that work…it tastes like crap, but it only lasts for a few minutes – well worth it for the results it provides!) *no, I am not a paid advertiser for oil of oregano, lol….I’m just amazed to have finally found a natural remedy that works!* I hope Matt feels better soon! You guys are too busy to be sick!

      Dude, seriously 😛 Kath, if you’d like me to send you some stuff, e-mail me and let me know- I work for several herbal companies, and we make some of the best immune support products available. Also, we have oregano oil in capsules, so you don’t even have to taste it! I personally take a different herbal combination that I swear by- I have only been sick 2 times in the *decade* that I’ve been taking it, and one of the times I just didn’t take it quickly enough. I can send you a few things to try out- it all comes in capsules, too, if you don’t want to taste strong herbal extracts. Let me know 😉

        December 16, 2011 at 7:26 am

        Thanks for the suggestion Jillian! I didn’t know it came in capsule form. I think I’ll be stuck with this bottle for a little while…it’s not very big but since I only take a couple of drops 2X a day when I need it, I think it’ll last a long time (assuming I don’t keep catching every cold that comes around this year, lol). I will absolutely keep the capsules in mind for when I need to restock!

    I was the same way yesterday. I was hungry but it was almost time for dinner. I had just gotten Gala apples at the produce market. Wedged one up with a hefty teaspoon of sunflower butter and a perfect snack was born!

    It’s great to see wild caught shrimp being sold. Farm raised fish are fed so many harmful substances that we then eat!

    One of my pet peeves is when people put huge pieces of food (i.e. shrimp) in each pasta or soup and you have to cut each time you take a bite otherwise you wipe out half the shrimp population in 2 bites!

    I have a pretty strong opinion on shrimp that shrink when you cook them. I’m glad you pointed this out, because I’m going to WF this weekend and might have been tempted to buy these!
    I’ve been on an overnight oats kick lately, which is weird since it’s gotten colder out. I think it’s just easier in the morning to grab ’em to take to work, rather than taking the time to re-heat them when I get there. Those extra few minutes make a big difference!

    Those look like cocktail shrimp (a.k.a. shrimpmeat)! Not meant for eating, but shrimp cocktails… hence the extra tininess. :O
