Shrimp Soup’s on!
VIDEOS
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
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’!
My pumpkin overnight oats are soaking for the second time this week — just made them 🙂 Love them!!!

Oy I hate when seafood shrinks! Scallops are the worst offenders.
With sprinkles, of course!
Key West has the best seafood I’ve ever tasted. With the possible exception of NYC.
Hope Matt feels better!
I hope Matt feels better! That soup should do the trick!
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.
Broth heals everything, so nutritious for you especially if it’s homemade. Looks like a great soup!
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! 🙂
That looks YUMMY kath! * cough* I’m getting sick I think I need some! Just kidding hopefully.
Okay, seriously. You need to come be my person chef. I can pay you in law school knowledge.
Love the buttered bread. I’m love having thick, hearty slices with each meal. Excellent addition to bedtime snacking too.
Dinner looks great Kath!
I LOVE shrimp!!! This looks tasty 🙂
Dinner looks so good. Now I must go get my oats soaking…thanks for the reminder.
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 😉
Thanks Jillian, but I think I’ll pass. Do you think any of my local stores sell it?
Which reminds me Jen, you might want to try to capsules ! 🙂
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 enjoyed soup as a sore throat remedy tonight… nothing better! but i’m with you, the tiny shrimp just don’t cut it.
I loooove shrimp soup! Such a delicious, flavorful meal! And rosemary and garlic are two of my favorite flavors!
I can’t wait to try that soup. I want to start making a lot more of those over the winter!
I have a serious craving for overnight oats… I think I might get some a soakin as well!
I have loved shrimp since my first shrimp cocktail!
looks delicious! You are loving those sprinkles. I am going to try that on my kiddies yogurt. Such a cute idea.
That soup looks good…shrimp for the win!
Hope he’s better!
Shrimp in soup is the best!! Haven’t had shrimp in wayyyy too long!
I like the stripes on your toast! Hope Matt doesn’t get sick, it’s not a good time for that!
i tried overnight oats for the first time this morning (let em soak last night) and they were SO good. im totally a convert. having them again tomorrow! i cant wait.
Ha! I read your title as “Shrimp Skunk”…”Shrimp Shrunk” is much more appetizing. Oy! Time for bed.
Your night photos are looking so great lately – is this due to lightroom, great lighting in your dining room or just your all around awesome photography skills? 🙂
Thanks Leila, I think it’s a combo of getting better in general and the umbrella lights I break out in the winter
spicey yum! I cant wait to try this soup, it looks warm, delish and different from the super hearty heavy ones ive been making lately~ this would be a great way to mix it up!! Ive still never done overnight oats…better get on that!
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!
I love brothy soups with just a little kick of spice. They’re my ideal comfort food.
Hope Matt feels better!
It’s great to see wild caught shrimp being sold. Farm raised fish are fed so many harmful substances that we then eat!
This looks gorgeous 🙂 Soup is so soothing when you’re not well.. hope Matt feels better!
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!
Rant done.
I’ve never tried shrimp in soup before! For some reason it has just never seemed like a soupy food to me. Your dinner makes me want to try it though!
Kath I have to say… that long spoon is marvelous.
Thanks! I’m obsessed with silver iced tea spoons!
That soup looks yummy! I’ve never had shrimp in soup before but I’d be willing to try it 🙂
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!
Looks so good and so easy to make. Appreciate the recipe, thanks.
I planned to have overnight oats this morning and completely forgot to put it together this morning! I was so sad! I will be drooling over your post I’m sure! 😉
And that bread looks like absolute perfection.
Hope Matt wakes up feeling 100%!
Those look like cocktail shrimp (a.k.a. shrimpmeat)! Not meant for eating, but shrimp cocktails… hence the extra tininess. :O
Tell Matt, ditto…looks like a good soup for me sometime soon. Thanks 🙂
