Ingredients
- 100 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (sugar-free)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder

- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté in a splash of broth (instead of oil, keeping it HCG-friendly) until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook the spices for 1 minute to release their aromas.
Add the tomato paste to the saucepan and stir to combine with the spices. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir well to create a smooth base for the soup.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the raw shrimp to the soup and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to adjust the flavors to your liking.
Ladle the soup into a bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful and satisfying HCG-friendly meal.
