Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • When selecting the potatoes, choose ones that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • When selecting the fish fillets, look for ones that are free of dark spots and have a fresh, mild smell.

  • Oil: Substitute olive oil for the canola oil. The benefit of using olive oil is that it is a healthier option with more beneficial fatty acids than canola oil, and it also adds a more robust flavor to the dish.
  • Fish: Substitute salmon for the tilapia. The benefit of using salmon is that it is a richer source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. Additionally, the flavor of salmon is more robust than tilapia, which can add a more complex flavor to the soup.

Spicy Seafood Soup Add 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the vegetables when sautéing. Increase the amount of jalapeno pepper slices to 6 tablespoons. Add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the crock pot.



Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus - This bright and flavorful side dish is the perfect accompaniment to the rich and savory seafood soup. The garlic and parmesan add an umami flavor that complements the soup, while the asparagus provides a crunchy texture and a pop of freshness.


Lemon & Herb Rice: This light and flavorful side dish pairs perfectly with the seafood soup. The lemon and herbs add a bright and zesty flavor that complements the soup, while the rice provides a comforting texture and a subtle sweetness.

This is an easy soup to prepare...it did lack seasoning...so I added in a lot of salt and some coriander, cumin and oregano...that helped the over all dish...I omitted the optional pickled jalapeno peppers...I wonder if that would have added the needed wow to the soup...made for "Billboard" tag game...
