For a richer flavor, consider using chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the shrimp. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder and salsa to control the spiciness of the soup. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
02
StepPour in the vegetable stock, add the corn kernels, diced sweet potatoes, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Stir in the salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
03
StepIncrease the heat to medium and gently stir in the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
04
StepRemove the pot from the heat and stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
05
StepLadle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining sliced green onions. Serve hot.
