Loved this recipe. Added cubed tuna steak, sliced water chestnuts, a few pieces of alaria (seaweed), an eight ounce bottle of clam juice, and a few splashes of fish sauce (and no soy sauce). It was really delicious. A great "base" recipe I've returned to a few times since.

Flavorful, delicious and spicy! Great for cold days or when your recovering from a bad cold (which was may case).

This is SO good! I just substituted panfish fillets cut into pieces that we catch, cut into pieces, instead of the seafood. Marvelous! I will certainly be making this again, and probably with the seafood.

This is indeed a very good base. I added shredded cabbage and a little bit of cooked brown rice to make it heartier. I also added more lemon juice and a dash of fish sauce as a personal preference. I used a frozen seafood mix, which made it very easy and affordable.

I really enjoyed this soup! So light and flavorful. Loved that I could have seafood and not spend a fortune, because of the small amounts required. The red pepper flakes gave a wonderful bite of heat, and the lemon zest was perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
