Winter is definitely here in NYC! It's no secret that I'm not much of a Winter fan. But, I do love a good soup when its cold outside. My husband has been asking me to make a version of a white bean and shrimp soup that he had at a NYC restaurant many years ago-but he couldn't really tell me what was in it except for white beans and shrimp. So. this is my version! It was a huge hit! Thick, creamy, and delicious-only without the cream. You won't miss it! Healthy, delicious, packed with protein and totally satisfying. Healthy CAN be delicious! And I am so passionate about raising healthy eaters! I like to cook my own beans. Although it does take some time, its simple and you can do it whenever you have time and then store them in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to use them. The flavor is amazing and it will save you money too!
