Seafood Soup

This bright and creamy seafood soup comes together in just a few easy steps! It’s a light, yet hearty stew full of flaky fish and tender shrimp. Throw together this simple meal when you’re craving something cozy, fresh, and satisfying!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

• It comes together in just a few very easy steps! Start by sautéing the veggies before adding in the spices. Then, stir together the broth before tossing in your seafood – that’s it!
• It all gets cooked up in just one pot! This simple seafood soup isn’t only quick to make, but quick to cleanup. With only one pot, you’ll have a complete and delicious meal.
• It’s incredibly warming and comforting, without being too heavy. Most creamy soups can sometimes feel heavy and weigh you down after eating. However, this soup is kept bright and light with a touch of tomato sauce and a can of coconut milk!

Key Ingredients

Coconut Milk – The coconut milk takes this soup to the next level! Though optional, I highly recommend pouring a can of full-fat coconut milk into your soup. And don’t worry, it won’t make your soup taste like coconut. Instead, it’ll give it an irresistably creamy, velvety taste and texture. If you don’t have coconut milk, you can use one cup of milk or heavy cream instead.

Firm White Fish – I used cod in my seafood soup, though any firm white fish will work! Halibut, haddock, or mahi mahi would all taste great in this recipe. To prepare the fish, start by patting it dry with a paper towel before cutting it into even-sized chunks. I recommend about 2-inch pieces, since they’ll flake apart when cooked.

Chef’s Tips

• Leave the soup to simmer before tasting and adjusting any seasoning as desired. The reason for this is because the flavor needs a full 30 minutes to develop. Once that time is up, you’ll have a better idea of how your meal will taste and can then add any seasoning you’d like.
• Feel free to use any seafood you’d like in this soup! White fish and shrimp are my personal favorite, though really any seafood would work. Salmon, calamari, or even mussels would make delicious additions to this recipe!
• Serve this soup however you’d like. I enjoy mine with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley and a thick slice of crusty bread. Though for a low-carb meal, enjoy this satisfying soup completely on its own!
