Lobster Desperation Soup

This is the kind of simple but delicious lunch I make when I'm home and I got nothing quick to reach for. Thinking about it, I'll stop buying quick things to grab cause this is delicious! ;op

I walked around the kitchen a few times trying to figure out what to eat and finally made this up.

Lobster Desperation Soup

1 serving, 2 P+ (not counting the veggies)

1 french shallot, halved and thinly sliced

2 sm celery stalk, chopped

1 sm zucchini, diced

1 sm red bell pepper, diced

1 can lobster (or crab would do) undrained

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp oregano, dried

1/4 saffron threads

Pepper to taste (no need of salt really*, taste at the end and adjust)

Heat up a Dutch oven and spray with cooking spray. Cook shallot, celery for about 1 minute, add remaining veggies and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add spices, cook for about 30 seconds, add the brine of the lobster (not the flesh yet!) and boil for 1 minute or so, add broth and cook for about 5 minutes (until the veggies are cooked to taste).

Add lobster, adjust salt and pepper and heat through (about 1 minute).

*The brine is plenty salty!
