Recipe: Shrimp and Spinach Soup
Added January 2022
Comfort food. <3 Was looking for the recipe of the Vietnamese version that would resemble what my momma used to make for me as a child. (She did teach me once in my late teens/early twenties… that’s where I incorporated the blender… and I wrote it on an index card. But… not too sure where that is right now or if I even have it still.) His mother also made this for me at least once or twice because it’s one of my fave. Simple… yet… yum! Well, this particular one is in the works, but it’ll do for now! Some days, I just want something soupy with rice.
