How to Make Fresh Shrimp and Radish Soup

Fresh shrimp and radish soup is a light, nutritious dish that warms the body and delights the taste buds. Here’s a simple guide to preparing it.

Ingredients: 300g fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 large radish (julienned), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 liter chicken or vegetable broth, 1 tbsp cooking oil, salt, white pepper, and chopped green onions for garnish.

Steps:

1. Prep the Shrimp: Marinate peeled shrimp with a pinch of salt and white pepper for 10 minutes.

2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant.

3. Cook Radish: Add julienned radish, stir-fry for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15–20 minutes until the radish turns tender.

4. Add Shrimp: Gently add marinated shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque—do not overcook to keep them tender.

5. Season: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions before serving.

Tips: For a richer flavor, dash a little rice wine when adding the shrimp. This soup pairs perfectly with steamed rice, making it ideal for a healthy, comforting meal. Enjoy the fresh, sweet flavors of the radish and shrimp in every spoonful!
