Red Snapper Stew

Submitted by SJG3483

"Stews so often have meat in them, but this attractive alternative only has fish. If you prefer the taste, use chicken broth instead of vegetable. Serve it as a soup or as a main course stew."

This was ok, my boyfriend seemed to like it, but it wasn't that hardy. I kind of expected it to be more like a "stew" and not just a regular broth based soup. I won't make this again.

I thought this was 'ok' and probably won't make it again.

This soup was awesome!! My husband loved it. I tried this because I don't really like fish but I thought in a soup it would be ok, and it was more than ok. I used ocean perch instead of the red snapper, but it was wonderful. I suggest everyone, fish-haters or fish-lovers, to try this recipe!
