Shrimp soup

Cookinero 2 Apr 2025

A great idea for an unusual lunch is Asian-inspired creamy shrimp soup. It will fill you up, add variety to your usual diet, and bring you pleasure with its bright creamy taste. In addition, the dish is healthy and low in calories. Shrimp contain a lot of iodine, fatty acids and antioxidants, B vitamins, vitamin A, selenium, copper, iron, phosphorus, sodium, and even zinc. But the main thing is that it is very tasty. Instead of cream, you can use coconut milk - this way the soup will be even more reminiscent of an Asian dish.
