Recipe Notes
There are a lot of great things about legumes, but one of the best is that they can help make your creamy soups creamy while adding a lot of fiber and quality protein. This also gives the soup a rich creamy texture without any milk or cream. Best of all it brings added fiber to your meal.
The shrimp topping for this soup makes it a complete meal and you can go in a lot of directions with the seasoning. Use a bit of chili powder or curry powder in the shrimp and avocado, or even some smoked paprika to change the character of the soup.
