Asian Shrimp Soup

 

This Asian Shrimp Soup is  amazingly delicious and healthy for you.

And will satisfy your craving for a big bowl of soup! Feel free to add wontons or noodles to it if desired. 

Your also going to want to use chicken bone broth to make it extra healthy. However if you do not have that on hand, Campbells Chicken Stock will work too.

After all it is your soup, both taste just as good.  But obviously the bone broth is much healthier for you.

Trust me either way it is out of the WORLD GOOD to the last spoonful. 

HOW TO MAKE ASIAN SHRIMP SOUP?

This soup utilizes fresh shrimp, kale, asparagus and crispy broccoli. It is simmered in a chicken stock, with soya sauce and a hint of sesame oil. 

It is simple and so so so good! If you have the flu or a cold this soup would make an excellent meal.

You can always use spinach instead kale or bok choy if desired!

If you love asian clear broth soups,  you’re going to love this soup!

This recipe is a keeper! You can also spice it up a tad by adding in some red pepper flakes.

Feel free to add some noodles if you want, I prefer it to be a clear stock packed full of vegetables. But you may like it with noodles or rice. 

Now, this may seem like an expensive soup to make. But in all honesty, one bowl costs under $5 dollars and that is because this recipe makes a fairly large pot of soup.

Enough to feed 5 or more people, or makes for a few bowls that can be enjoyed over the course of two days.

So if your craving a soup to warm you up, but also want a healthy meal. Then this Asian Shrimp Soup is sure to hit the spot!

Healthy Seafood Soup

This Healthy Seafood Soup is something I came up with most recently. I never followed any recipes, rather just made it out of a craving for something. “Different”. 

Today, I’m sharing with you my recipe for this delicious “Seafood Soup” that is out of this World tasty!

HOW TO MAKE SEAFOOD SOUP?

My soup utilizes fresh shrimp, bok choy and mushrooms. Along with canned clams and chicken stock that helps to add depth of flavor along with red thai curry paste, soya and garlic/ginger spices.

You can always use spinach instead instead of the boy choy if desired!

If you love seafood you’re going to love this soup!

The brown pieces in this soup. That you see in the picture above. Is not meat, rather Chinese shiitake mushrooms. You can also omit those for cremini if you’d prefer. 

I made this soup now three times since, and trust me. This recipe is a keeper!

It is not like any seafood soup recipe out their. As there is no cream, milk or sugar added. Rather it utilized natural flavors and has depths of flavor that make it a true seafood soup.

I used just a hint of “Red Thai Curry Paste” to heat it up and add extra flavor. You can always use “Red Pepper Flakes ” instead however the flavor will be a bit different.

My recipe calls for “3 cans of clams”. However if your wanting to use fresh whole clams you can as well.  Also you can use either “Red Thai Curry Paste” in this soup.

Also there’s only one brand I would recommend and use, see the picture below. Or you can also use “Red Pepper flakes” instead if you’d like. I much prefer the paste as it adds just that extra layer of flavor. 

Also I used Thai Rice Noodles, see picture below for the brand I prefer.

 

Now, this may seem like an expensive soup to make. But in all honesty, one bowl costs under $5 dollars and that is because this recipe makes a fairly large pot of soup.

Enough to feed 5 or more people, or makes for a few bowls that can be enjoyed over the course of two days.

So if your craving a soup to warm you up, but also want a healthy meal. Then this Seafood soup is sure to hit the spot!

If you are planning to enjoy this soup over a couple of days, then your in for a treat. Because the flavors only develop further.

Thai Carrot Soup

This Creamy Thai Carrot Soup is made with lots of carrots and has hints of thai flavors incorporated into it.

PLUS it is simple to make, trust me I have tested this recipe a few times. And have come up with the easiest way to make this from scratch. There is no peeling of the carrots here and everything is pretty much done in one pot.

Minus the blending of the carrots at the end. But it is so worth it because it turns into the most delicious creamy carrot soup ever!

Have you ever tried Red Thai Curry before? If you have then you will recognize some of those flavors here. This soup is not boring by any means, and it does not taste just like carrots.

Rather all the ingredients here only enhances the carrots. Which have linked with benefits for heart and eye health, improved digestion, as well as reduced risk of cancer.

Now there are plenty of ways to make this kind of soup, so I’m going to give you a few options here and let then you decide what works best for you.

I have experiment with a few carrot soups in my day, and I have found most of them bland to be honest. That is probably why people sometimes add potatoes and other elements to it. But not I! 

I prepare this soup the exact same way I would any “Red Thai Curry” minus the fish stock.

With the addition of 8 carrots. If you are not as much of a carrot fan, then you can also half the amount of carrots and add one sweet potato to the stock. “Cubed” of course, then you will want to blend that along with the carrots.  

IS CARROT SOUP HEALTHY

YES, carrots have been linked with plenty of benefits for heart and eye health, improved digestion, as well as reduced risk of cancer. Being that their is 8 whole carrots in this soup you are getting a whole lot of those benefits. 

WHY IS CARROT SOUP HEALTHY FOR YOU

  • Because it is packed full beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants 
  • They are a weight loss friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health
  • The list goes on and on as to the benefits of carrots.

HOW TO MAKE THAI CARROT SOUP 

  • You will start by washing and chopping the carrots, do not remove the skin. It is very healthy for you as that is where most of the nutrients are stored. 
  • Then in a large pot you will want to saute the Red Thai Curry Paste in a little bit of oil for 2 minutes or until fragrant. 
  • Along with the fresh ginger. 
  • Then you will add the coconut milk along with the vegetable stock.
  • Add the cubed carrots, star anise and sugar.
  • Place the lid on the soup and simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender.
  • With a ladle remove the carrots and place into a blender, along with 1 cup of the stock.
  • Blend until completely creamy and smooth.
  • Pour back into the pot, cover and simmer 5 more minutes. 
  • Serve into bowls, then crush up some cashews and parsley and garnish.
  • Squeeze half a lime over each bowl and enjoy!

WHAT IS THAI CARROT SOUP

  • Red Thai Curry consists Coconut milk, Vegetable Stock,  Red Thai Curry Paste, Ginger, Sugar, Star Anise and lots of Carrots. 
  • Traditionally Red Thai Curry paste is made in a mortar and is comprised of shallots, garlic, green chilies, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves among some other ingredients and spices. 
  • How the Red Thai Curry that I use and HIGHLY recommend has all that in it. (see below)

The ONLY brand I will use!!

Also if you’re feeling under the weather, this is the perfect soup to make. 

Just simply go ahead and add more ginger to this soup as it carries a ton of antibacterial properties.

And has been proven to help people get better much faster. 

So you have two options when preparing this dish, either you can make the Red Thai Curry from scratch with the traditional Thai ingredients.

By crushing it all together in a mortar or you can buy the premade “Red Thai Curry Paste” which has all this in the paste, and is much easier. 

This is the method we highly recommend, as it’s much easier. We hope you give it a try,  and let us know how it turned out for you

CAN CARROT SOUP BE FROZEN

Definitely, just make sure you are placing it in a freezer friendly container. 

You really you cannot go wrong with making this soup, it’s healthy and also an excellent recipe to keep on hand when you have a ton of carrots. 

If you love Thai food as much as me, then you will want to try my other thai dishes! All are AMAZING and really are some of the best ways to make Thai at home in a fraction of the time.

Grilled Cheese Tomato Tortellini Soup

This Grilled Cheese Tomato Tortellini Soup is super tasty and simple to make. If you like grilled cheese sandwiches then your going to love this soup!

I grew up eating grilled cheese sandwiches, I have no idea how many I have eaten in my adolescent years. But I’m guessing hundreds if not… dare i say thousands.

I mean what kid doesn’t like a grilled cheese sandwich? Now that I am grown, I like to experiment with lets say, more sophisticated recipes. You know so that my family thinks my tastes have evolved. 

This soup really satisfies my craving for a grilled cheese sandwich, which i admit comes on now and again. If you have kids, I can only imagine how much they would love this soup!

Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes. If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.

Over the years I have made this soup a few different ways and found this recipe to sure hit the spot. Actually the day I discovered “Passata Sauce” is the day I started experimenting with homemade tomato soups.

So what is Passata Sauce?

Passata Sauce is the base for all Italian tomato sauces, it is uncooked tomato puree without seeds or skins. Essentially, it is tomato sauce in its rawest form. Of course you can always use fresh tomatoes by blending them into a puree in the blender as well. Totally up to you!

Then to add a bit more of a tomato base, I will use a can of tomato paste which blends out well when added to the vegetable stock.

Serve this alongside a grilled cheese sandwich and you will be in HEAVEN!

And without further adieu the secret ingredient is Philadelphia Cream Cheese!

Liked this recipe? Try my “Tomato Soup” it is delizioso as too!

PIN IT FOR LATER

Best Chicken Tortellini Soup

This Best Chicken Tortellini Soup has fresh asparagus along with kale it it. It is one of those soups that you will want to make a big old pot of and enjoy over a few days

If your craving a soup to warm you up, but also want a hearty meal. Then this Soup is sure to hit the spot! Not only does it tastes good it is also very healthy for you.

WHAT IS CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

The reason I call this tortellini soup the best, is because it is! Yes, I know it’s not traditional to put asparagus and kale in this type of soup. And i’m aware that most of these types of recipes call for carrots.

But for me I much prefer these veggies!! Don’t you?

You can also replace the kale with spinach if desired. What I like most about making this soup is that it can be enjoyed over a few days. Because it keeps very well in the fridge and even tastes better the second day!

CAN YOU FREEZE CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP

Yes, up to three months!

Absolutely delicious! 

I have always loved chicken noodle soup, however it is nice to try different versions of it now and again, right? 

This soup is allot like Chicken Noodle soup, but we are omitting the noodles and carrots and uses tortellini along with kale and asparagus instead. 

It’s pretty similar to allot of those other Chicken Tortellini soup recipes, however mine uses more vegetables and is more on the healthy side. 

What makes the soup creamy is the mixture of the chicken stock, cream and parmesan cheese. Some recipes will have you using all cream and of course that will make it ultra creamy. However for this soup I wanted it to be lower in fat and also stay true to a chicken noodle type soup base. 

Such a fantastic soup to have simmering on the stovetop when your not feeling so great or heck even when you are. 

I like to use better than bouillon chicken stock when making most of my soups. So I will mix just the right amount of that with water for the stock.

Plus using mostly stock vs cream really helps to make this soup super creamy without all the extra fat. Of course you can use whatever chicken stock you have on hand, just be sure it is not laddled with to much salt. 

Also, you will want to allow the asparagus to simmer for a least 15 minutes along with the chicken to ensure both are super tender prior to adding the tortellini and kale. 

If you are planning to enjoy this soup over a couple of days, then you will want to add one more cup of chicken stock as well, since the tortellini tends to soak it up overnight. 

I really like to use “Herb Chicken Tortellini” for this recipe. However you can use whatever brand you like most. Also if you want a little heat to this soup then I would recommend adding in a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes.

If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.

Vegetable Egg Drop Soup

Warm up to a BIG Bowl of  the most delicious “Vegetable Egg Drop Soup“. This popular Chinese soup it’s super simple to make and believe it or not very filling. Not to mention inexpensive and addicting!

We are in the middle of winter here now in Canada and people have been getting sick left right and center with colds and the flu. Me included, whenever this time of year rolls around I tend to stay home more and prepare heartwarming soups for me and whoever is around.

Egg drop soup is one of those easy to make and hearty soups that warms the body and heals it too. Now what more could you want in  a soup? Matter of fact after this post I will make some. I could it this soup all day everyday! 

I always order egg drop soup whenever I go to any chinese restaurant, I just love it. Most restaurants serve it without the vegetables, however I like to add vegetable to it as it makes it more filling and healthy and can serve as the main course this way.

Which I will enjoy for lunch or dinner whenever I’m in the mood. 

This recipe is quick to make because all we are doing is basically bringing the soup to a simmer and cooking it over medium heat for roughly 15 minutes. 

If you want bigger chunks of egg then you will want to stir it less near the end. I prefer it more like this so I will stir it allot near the end so it breaks up. Also you can add three to four eggs if desired, after all it’s your soup.

The type of frozen mixed Vegetables I like to use

Also make sure your using a quality chicken stock, because you will be adding some low sodium soy sauce that will allow for just the right amount of salt in this soup.

Creamy Reuben Soup

This Creamy Reuben Soup is low carb and absolutely delicious. If YOU like Reuben sandwiches, then your going to love this soup! 

I  grew up eating the old classic “Reuben Sandwiches” in my home. My mom used to make then from scratch for me. With spicy mustard, which was my favorite way to eat them.

This soup reminds me so much of my childhood, but only in a soup.

Image a creamy Reuben sandwich? That is this soup, and it is Amazing!

I bought 1 pound of a “pickled corn beef” a few days ago. And was looking to make something unique with it, since I wasn’t really feeling like making the typical beef brisket that you can find just about everywhere.

So I got to thinking and was like “Oh” I can make a Reuben Sandwich.

Wait better yet a Reuben Soup, now doesn’t that sound amazing?

This soup tastes just like the sandwich but it’s warm and satisfying and makes an excellent meal.

Now if you can’t find any pickled corn beef then you can pickle it yourself.

Now of course you don’t have to use a pickled corn beef to enjoy this recipe, however if you decided not to pickle it then I do suggest adding in 1 tsp of cayenne seeds to this soup.

It is mid November here in Canada and this recipe could not come at a better time for me and my partner. Actually it turned out way better than we would have ever imagined.  

Now I don’t know about you, but I do not have all night to be slaving over a stove, so instead I made this whole soup in my pressure cooker.

First I simmered the chopped onion in some butter on the browning setting, then the minced garlic.

Then simply added some flour, beef stock and the remaining ingredients into the pot. Minus the sour cream and swiss cheese and set it to cook for a good while in the pressure cooker.

Once it was cooked, I shredded the brisket in my “food processor to get the meat to be very thin as you see above.

I definitely would not skip that step as it really helps to make this soup come together.

Once the brisket has been shredded you will simply add it back to the pot along with the swiss cheese and sour cream to simmer for another 5 minutes before serving. Serve alongside some toasted “Rye Bread” enjoy! 

We love this soup so much so, that we have made it a couple more times in the past month!

Notes: Feel free to freeze this soup it works great as leftovers too.

Broiled Lasagna Soup

This Broiled Lasagna Soup is absolutely delicious and is one of our new favorite soup recipes! I created this recipe one day while I was making “onion soup” that recipe can be found on this blog as well.

I love soup so I’m always thinking of new ways to recreate the classics. This lasagna soup is similar to many other lasagna soups recipe you will find, however mine has a few other special ingredients such as passata sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Not to mention it’s broiled at the end which makes it taste allot like real Lasagna.

So if you LOVE lasagna as much as we do then you are going to love this soup!

Oh btw if your ever looking for an amazing Lasagna recipe, I will link that recipe below for you. 

What I like about this soup is that there really is no effort to making it, well that is compared to actual lasagna.

Where you are to pre -cook the noodles and other ingredients before merging it all together in layers and placing it all into a large baking dish.

With this soup we are simply adding everything into a large pot and cooking it all together, it’s like a lazy lasagna.

And the last step will have you placing the soup into oven safe bowls, the same kind of bowls you would use to make “onion soup” and broiling it with extra cheese on top.

Then it’s like your eating a big bowl of lasagna expect there is some beef broth inside. AMAZING!

Also the time to cook it is cut in half compared to traditional lasagna. So it’s a win win! I really encourage you to get your hands on passata sauce, it’s fresh pureed tomatoes that have been uncooked and it really makes this soup creamy and so delicious!

Passata sauce can be found in almost any mediterranean market or in your local grocery in the canned tomato section. 

Now the trick to making the best “Lasagna soup” is also using the right cheeses. This soup calls for white cheddar cheese, and marble cheese along with a bit of ricotta for serving. 

This soup is out of this world delicious! I hope you give it a try and if you do I would love to know what you think, just let me know in the comments below.  

Notes: Feel free to freeze this soup it works great as leftovers, however keep in mind that broiling it from frozen doesn’t so much. Also make sure to break up those whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon while cooking, you do not want bites of whole tomatoes.
