If you love soup, shrimp and vegetables you are in for a treat! This recipe is so delicious that I’m drooling a little bit just thinking about it. It was a hit with the entire family, and both kids requested second helpings.

Ironically, I came up with this recipe because I was very behind on grocery shopping and needed to work with whatever I had left in the fridge and cabinets. So I got creative with the foods I had on hand. If you aren’t a fan of shrimp you can substitute chicken or another protein of choice. I’m looking forward to making this recipe again. It was quick, healthy, simple to make and mouth watering-ly delicious.

Ingredients:

Lemon Pepper Shrimp Vegetable Soup

The Recipe:

Step 1: In a large soup pot, add extra virgin olive oil and sauté minced garlic, onions, chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) and peppers until soft. Add chopped spinach, oregano, salt and lemon pepper seasoning to taste.
Lots of delicious and colorful vegetables.

Step 2: When Vegetables are cooked add broth into the pot. Warm broth and vegetables over medium heat.

Step 3: In a separate pan, over medium heat, cook peeled shrimp in extra virgin olive oil, garlic and zest of one lemon. (*For extra flavor you can add a pat of butter, but this is optional).

Do not overcook shrimp. You can add lemon pepper seasoning for extra flavor if desired.

Step 4: When the shrimp is cooked and the broth is heated your meal is ready to serve! Put everything together in a bowl. Add a slice of freshly squeezed lemon for extra flavor.

Optional: Top with some fresh Parmesan cheese when you serve. You can also add cooked rice if you want a denser soup.

Enjoy your meal!
