With capers and olives, this heart-healthy soup draws inspiration from Italian puttanesca sauce. Serve with crusty whole-grain bread to soak up the broth.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound raw shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added whole peeled tomatoes
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can no-salt-added white beans
2 ounces small whole-wheat pasta, such as orzo
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sprinkle with chile powder and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a clean plate.
Add onion and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Roughly mash the tomatoes with a potato masher, leaving some chunks. Stir in beans and mash some, leaving most whole. Return to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp, olives and capers. Serve the soup topped with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
