How to make Vietnamese Spinach Soup with Shrimp

1. Wash the spinach and shredded
2. Fry the shrimp with garlic and olive oil for 5 minutes
3. Add shredded spinach, vegetable broth and water.
4. Cook for 10 minutes with the pot covered. After this, the soup is ready to be served.

Tips and common mistakes to avoid for beginner cooks

1. If you don’t have liquid broth or stock, chicken bouillon cubes are a lifesaver. Dilute a cube with about 2 cups of hot water then you have a broth.
2. If you are using store-bought broth or stock in your Vietnamese Spinach Soup, please do a taste test before you add any salt because these products contain high levels of sodium
3. If you don’t like the savory taste of broths then I will suggest you replace the broth with water. For flavor, you might have to add some more seasoning.

How to store leftover Spinach Soup

For seafood soup, I often tell my family not to leave any leftovers but if there are any, we make sure to consume them the next day as it isn’t recommended to store them for longer periods.

How to reheat

To reheat, I warm it on the stove over medium heat and stir occasionally until hot. You can also reheat in the microwave for a few minutes. Another option is to sift the broth and warm it in a pot or microwave, once it has heated you can add it back to the soup’s content. If it’s hot enough it will warm everything in the bowl.
