Instructions
In a medium size, pot add the broccoli and pour enough water in the pot until the broccoli is covered. Add salt and bring to a boil. Chop the onions, celery, peppers, and garlic and set aside.
Wash/ Defrost the shrimp. If you're using jumbo shrimp like I did, chop the shrimp into pieces. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over it. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Open the can/box of beans, wash off the liquid and set aside.
In a hot medium-sized saucepan, pour olive oil into the pan and add the onions, garlic, celery, and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and no salt seasoning.Cook till soft and translucent. Set aside a portion to be added to the blender.
In the same pan, Add 2 tablespoon of olive oil and add the shrimp and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of butter and reduce the heat to simmer. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
Take the boiled broccoli and put in a blender. Add the drained beans, fresh spinach, sauteed veggies and a cup of the boiled broccoli water. You can always add more but its best to not overfill your blender with hot liquids.
Pour the blended broccoli back into the pot and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the grass-fed cheese and goat cheese and stir till melted.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls, top with the tomato and shrimp confit. Garnish with more cheese.
