1. Cover the bottom of a non-stick Dutch oven with a teaspoon regular Olive Oil and I use a pastry brush to distribute it over the bottom,
2. once heated on Medium High, add chopped onions and celery stocks into the pan.
3. Allow onions and celery to caramelized about 2 minutes and then stir in garlic.
4. Add curry and stir to bloom the flavor (1 min.
5. ), then.
6. immediately add in your thawed shrimp and drained sweet potatoes.
7. Stir quickly around the Dutch oven for another 1 to 2 minutes.
8. Add low sodium chicken broth and lite coconut milk, and then bring contents to a boil for approximately 10 minutes to barely soften sweet potatoes.
9. Add the chopped peppers and broccoli slaw into the soup.
10. Off the burner and add lime zest, 1/2 tsp dried cilantro (or approximately 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro), chopped celery leaves, sea salt and the juice of the lime.
11. Stir and let flavors blend for about 2 minutes before serving over rice or spinach leaves.
12. You can top with Mango Salsa-Pico de Gallo (like Newmans Own Mango Salsa) and cracked pepper to enhance the taste.
13. Add more veggies like broccoli slaw or onions and celery to make it a fuller soup.
14. These veggies make a filling, but yummy low calorie soup whose flavors of curry, lime, coconut milk and shrimp meld nicely together.
