This flavorful shrimp soup is the best seafood soup recipe you'll ever make. The broth is absolutely jam-packed with umami goodness from the rich spices and red curry paste that's infused into the broth. And the soup itself is filled with spinach, basmati rice, bell peppers, and tender, perfectly cooked shrimp. The best part though is that you can make this soup in under 30 minutes, and the entire recipe is just passive cooking!
