Super Easy Seafood Soup of Necessity

Submitted by Debbie R.

"I wanted to make a cioppino, but didn't have all the ingredients for any recipe. So I made this--hence the title. I had to use that package of seafood mix somehow. This is very good; DH does not love seafood and yet liked it. Seafood mix is a combo of fish, squid, mussels and fake crab. It's found in the seafood freezer section. Serve with crackers or croutons."

Amazing and super easy! I used Costco’s Seafood Medley, added hot pepper flakes, extra garlic, chopped cilantro, and some leftover seafood paella we had in the fridge. I will definitely make this again! Thank you! :-)

Very good. I had a bag of seafood mix to use. I used a soy sauce-garlic mixture for the sauce.This will be really good in the winter. Will make again.

Great taste and so easy to make. I needed to keep acidity low so added only one chopped tomato and used three cups of milk with chicken brooth. Used fish sauce instead of Woorcheshire too because I happened to have that on hand.

I really liked this because normally I don't eat anything but spicy. This was very good for my tummy since I am pregnant :) This was perfect! I did change it a lot like I highly recommend adding cilantro and lime juice to it, omg it was out of this world. Just wish it was a bit thicker but overall delish
