Ingredients

4 ounces of shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup of chopped mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and cauliflower)
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of mixed salad greens
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mixed vegetables to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer.
Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the soup. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as it can become tough.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the side of mixed greens. In a bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil. Toss well to coat the greens evenly.
Serve the shrimp and vegetable soup hot in a bowl, accompanied by the side of mixed greens.
