First let me say that 4 servings became 2 tonight. The tomatoes really cooked away into the soup so I just picked out the skins at serving time. The only thing I would change would be to use fish stock (if available) in place of the chicken. This is a lovely light and low fat soup that I'm sure I'll make again. I didn't have sea bass so I used Mahi Mahi along with the shrimp.
