I absolutely loved this soup, but DH hated it. (If you use sea scallops, be sure to quarter them; I only halved them, and I wonder if he ran into one that wasn't completely done. I'm not sure.) The mixture of seafoods was very tasty, as was the seasoning. I wish I'd used a slightly drier white wine. However, this was still delicious! ZWT9Reply
