Spring is here which means that I’m going away from hearty soups and headed toward cool salads. But it’s not very warm outside yet and so I thought I’d make a lighter spring soup with a savory lemongrass and ginger broth. I also wanted to use some of the vegetables that are in season now. And lastly, wouldn’t shrimp go nice with those flavors? Here is my spring vegetable soup with shrimp! 

Spring Vegetables In Season

I don’t know about you but in spring I’m thinking about my garden and all the delicious vegetables I’ll be growing. I’m excited to use fresh produce and light ingredients in my cooking. Here are some vegetables that are in season in the spring. Some have higher net carb counts than others. Just use them in small quantities.

  • radishes ( 2 net carbs per cup)
  • asparagus ( 2.4 net carbs per cup)
  • green onions ( 2.8 net carbs per cup)
  • carrots ( 7.4 net carbs per cup)
  • broccoli ( 6.1 net carbs per cup)
  • artichokes ( 6.6 net carbs for 1 whole)
  • arugula ( 0.5 net carbs per cup)
  • peas ( 13.6 net carbs per cup)
  • leeks ( 11 net carbs per cup)
  • bok choy ( 0.6 net carbs per cup)
  • spinach ( 0.4 net carbs per cup)

Spring Vegetable Soup Ingredients 

I took a picture of the ingredients because are they so colorful. I’m trying to incorporate more colorful vegetables into our meals.  As you can see I used asparagus, mushrooms, radishes, carrots, broccoli and green onions. I wanted this to be a kind of throw it all in a pot kind of soup.

Spring Vegetable Soup With Shrimp Recipe

This is rather a quick and easy soup to make. It will probably take you longer to chop the vegetables than in will to make the soup!

  1. Add the broth, lemongrass and garlic to a large pot.
  2. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the chopped vegetables and raw shrimp into the broth and simmer for about 5 minutes until the shrimp and vegetables are done.
  4. Taste and add salt if needed. Garnish with cilantro if you wish.

You could use any vegetables you like. I really liked the vegetables I used but you can use whatever you have on hand or enjoy eating. This has a bit of an Asian flavor so maybe think of vegetables you would get in your favorite Thai or Chinese dishes.

I hope to cook more with the seasons in upcoming posts and of course Spring and Summer offer a lot of variety for me to pick from. Enjoy this Spring Vegetable Soup in celebration of Spring finally being here!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (chicken or vegetable) optional
  • 6 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste
  • 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 2 cups spring vegetables, sliced (see note**)
  • ½ lb shrimp, raw and peeled
  • cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  1. Add your broth to a pot along with the lemongrass, garlic and ginger. If you are using the Better than Bouillon add it now.
  2. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down so it simmers for 5 minutes.
  3. Add your vegetables and shrimp and cook for 5 or so minutes until your vegetables are soft and the shrimp are pink.

  4. Season with salt and pepper if needed and garnish with cilantro.

  5. * I love the flavor of Better than Bouillon and now use it in all my soups. You don't need to use it if you don't have or like it.
  6. Note about vegetables** I used the following (¼ cup radishes, ½ cup asparagus, ½ cup broccoli, ¼ cup grated carrots, ⅛ cup green onions, ¼ cup mushrooms)
