Up at 5:30, to the gym, then the office, then an event, then the drive home. This leaves me at 8:30 p.m. with no dinner, and so late it's almost not worth it (not to mention the calories before heading to bed!).
So this soup was born. It literally takes 5 minutes. Total.
Swap out the protein, change up the vegetable, and it's still fast, easy, delicious and healthy. Maybe not so photogenic though...
Spicy Shrimp & Baby Bok Choy Soup:

4 small bunches baby bok choy, cleaned and ends removed freeing each individual leaf
8-10 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled with tails on

I'm starting to rate this soups as medicial/soothing as chicken soup!
It looks yummy! Definitely something I will have to experiment with, as I have those kinda days to and am always looking for something quick and easy.
I relly enjoy soups like this one, and it's a real bonus that it's healthy too!
Well, I love spicy shrimp, and I have a whole bunch of left over bok choy from a recipe I didn't need so much as I thought in...I think I know how to use it now! Superyum.
My kind of soup - spicy, with seafood & veg. yummm! And quick too.
