A hint of spice to warm you up this winter

This chipotle shrimp soup starts off with sautéing aromatics and jumbo shrimp until fragrant. We are then filling the pot with carrots, diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to let it simmer down before we add a dash of chipotle, lemon and herbs that will really finish the dish off and create a bright and flavorful soup. If you are looking for a vegan version of this soup, omitting the shrimp and adding an array of other root vegetables and a bit of kale makes a hearty vegetable and herb soup that you can easily make ahead and serve any day of the week.
