How to Make Asian Vegetable Soup With Shrimp

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 chopped leeks, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  4. Add 2.5 lbs of pre-packaged Asian vegetables (or 1.5 lbs savoy cabbage, thinly sliced, and 1 lb shredded carrots), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until the cabbage is wilted and reduced by half, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for richer flavor) and 2 cups of water.
  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  8. Add 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined).
  9. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
  10. Taste and season with salt to your preference.
