Scallop Soup Recipe With Curry
This scallop soup recipe with curry is wonderfully warming with plenty of delicious protein. It’s comforting on a chilly evening, too.
I love scallops, but I don’t buy them often because they can get pretty pricy. However, every once in a while, I’ll pick some up just to see what deliciousness I can create when I get them back home.
Scallop Nutrition
Scallops are actually quite nutritious. They are low in fat and calories and pack plenty of protein. Three ounces of scallops have 94 calories, 0 carbs, and 1.2 grams of fat and are packed with vitamin B12, Iron, and Potassium. You’ll also get a healthy dose of selenium and other trace minerals.
However, while they are nutritious, they can also contain heavy metals, which is another reason I don’t buy them often. The level of heavy metal content will depend on where they are caught. Environment plays a big role in the level of heavy metals. Also, some people may have allergic reactions to scallops. But chances are, if you are allergic, you probably know it already.
Healthline had this to say:
“If you’re an otherwise healthy adult who is not allergic and does not need to worry about excessive heavy-metal consumption, eating scallops should be safe.” (source)
How To Make Scallop Soup
The truth is scallops can overcook very quickly. So you have to be a little careful. It becomes even easier to overcook them in soup. So that’s why the scallops are the last thing you’ll add to your pot here. Get the broth going and seasoned well, and then put the scallops in for the last few minutes of cooking. It’s a pretty easy recipe, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask in a comment below. Enjoy!
