For Foodie Friday this week, I’m showing a recipe that I have just listed on Tasty Kitchen. This is a favorite quick, healthy lunch of mine on many busy days. Make this soup your own by using your favorite combination of veggies, fresh or frozen.
2 cups water
4 large frozen shrimp
1 oz. pad thai rice noodles
1 small tomato
3 mushrooms
1 scallion
1 large leaf Swiss chard
1 heaping tablespoon soy & brown rice miso
Chopped cilantro and tamari sauce, optional
Boil 2 cups water. Slice tomato, mushrooms and scallion. Add shrimp, rice noodles, tomato, mushrooms and scallion. Simmer for 4 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside to cool. Slice chard into thick strips and add to soup, turn off heat and cover. Allow to sit for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, peel cooled shrimp. Blend miso with a few tablespoons of the hot soup, then stir into soup.
Serve up in a large bowl, garnished with the shrimp, cilantro and tamari (or soy), if you like. Remember to sit outside and enjoy this beautiful fall weather we’re all about to have, relish your soup, and look at an inspiring magazine. Now that’s a stress free lunch!
Enjoy ….
Something is wrong with this picture - I post chocolage cake and you post healthy soup. Hmmm. You are much better than I am!
