This quick meal takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. If you have the ingredients available, even less. My [Primal] soup is highly nutritious and loaded with calories and fat to fuel a great lifting workout which I have on deck today– kettlebell upper body.
2T coconut oil (expeller pressed and organic)
1 cup of Organic Coconut Milk
2 cups water pre boiled
1T chillies or chili paste
1T Fish sauce (get it without sugar or syrups) -Optional
1/2t honey (opt)
1t tumeric
1T ginger (fresh and ground)
1 clove garlic
pinch of salt
1 carrot peeled and sliced
1/4 onion
4oz sea scallops (wild)
4oz prawns wild with shells
Heat a saucepan on med-high heat. Melt the coconut oil. Add onion and carrot. Sweat until softened. Mash ginger and garlic into a paste; add to pan. Add tumeric and season with salt. Add chili paste/chilies. Stir a bit. Add coconut milk and cook at med heat for about 5 minutes. Add the prawns and scallops and water. Add honey, fish sauce and if you want to get crazy, bruise a stalk of lemongrass and place in pan. (You’ll pull this out before you eat.) Add water. Continue to cook as you are making a quick soup. I let mine cook today for about 10 minutes more.
Plate in a bowl like soup. Keep a container to place the prawn peels when you are eating. You can serve with scallions, lime, and cilantro or Thai basil. I did not have any and since I was eating this on my lunch break, I figured it’s ok to skip. Enjoy!
Hey i have a question being new to primal eating how can you tell that butter is grass fed? what brands should i be looking for. thanks and keep up the great blog its inspiring.
Angie,
Usually you will just find organic butter at most stores. That is our go to for butter. However in the warmer months, there are farmers markets where several stands sell “grass fed” cow’s butter. I usually meet the farmer and we talk about the cow’s diet, etc.
