Broth and Vegetables

Garnish

Method

Preparing the Broth

  1. 1

    Make the Prawn Broth

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves (minced) and onion (diced) and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Water and Prawns

    Add 4 cups of water and the prawns to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the prawns are cooked through.

  3. 3

    Strain the Broth

    Remove the prawns and strain the broth to remove any solids. Set the broth aside and peel the prawns, chopping them into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Chop the zucchini into half-moon shapes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the strained broth back in and bring it to a simmer. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 6

    Finish the Soup

    Add the chopped zucchini and the reserved prawns back into the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving the Soup

  1. 7

    Prepare Garnish

    While the soup is cooking, prepare the garnish by finely chopping the small onion, dicing the tomatoes, and slicing the avocado. Chop the cilantro roughly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve it with the prepared garnish on the side: diced onion, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges.
