Shrimp and Feta Soup (aka Shrimp Saganaki Soup)

Shrimp and Feta Soup (aka Shrimp Saganaki Soup)

A quick and easy Greek style shrimp soup in a tasty tomato and feta broth!

I always enjoy soups during the fall and today I a recipe for a tasty shrimp and feta soup to share with you! The flavours of this soup are inspired by shrimp saganaki, a Greek dish where shrimp is served in a simple tomato and feta sauce along with bread to scoop it up with. I was thinking that it would be simple to make the same tomato and feta sauce, except more like broth, for a tasty soup! This soup gets all of its amazing flavour from the simple tomato, feta and shrimp combo with accents of garlic and onion and a hint of fennel. All said and done this shrimp and feta soup (aka shrimp saganaki soup) takes less that 30 minutes oto make making it a great option for weeknight dinners and any leftovers are great for lunch to next day!

    I made this twice! This is one of the best soups I have now in my collection of soups to make. Super easy, and easy to add or alter. Second time I made it, I used some diced fennel bulb and chopped roasted red peppers. I added some sliced pepperocinis and kalamatas on the side as a garnish. It’s such a good soup, I’m sharing your recipe with my Italian-In-Laws now:).

    Even though the weather is getting warmer, we still like to have soup once a week. This was a new one for me, never would have thought of it. With very few ingredients, and very little time we had a meal (soup plus side Greek salad and some olive bread) that was so flavorful and filling. Thank you Kevin, for all your great recipes and options. We really have enjoyed so many of them. Looking forward to making more.
