Preparation
Step 1
Slice the jicama halfway through from pole-to-pole to create a slit, being careful not to pierce any farther than its center. Spiralize with Blade D on The Inspiralizer (or whichever blade makes spaghetti noodles on your spiralizer.) Briefly set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the chili powder, oregano, cumin, and paprika and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Step 3
Stir in the tomatoes, beans, and broth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the shrimp and lime juice and cook for 5 minutes until the shrimp are bright pink and opaque.
Step 5
Stir in the cilantro and jicama noodles. Taste and season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
Step 6
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve garnished with avocado and sliced jalapeño if you like.
