We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Note: Ore Ida O'Brien Potatoes. They are one brand of a mix of frozen diced potatoes with a mix of green and red bell pepper and a little onion. For 2 cups of this - sub 1 1/2 cups diced frozen potatoes; 1/3 cup diced red and green peppers, and the rest onions to make up the 2 cups. It is fine if it isn't exact. It is just soup, so the amounts can be flexible.

  • Step 2: Base ... In a medium pot, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and the celery and saute 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Add in the potatoes, cream corn, broth, thyme, worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Bring to a light boil and reduce to medium low and simmer 8-10 minutes until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.

  • Step 3: Seafood ... Remember to cut the fish in "nice size piece," 1 1/2", because they will break apart slightly as they cook. Also, if using small shrimp I leave them whole; but if using large shrimp, I rough chop. Bring the soup to a light boil, add the seafood, reduce to medium low, and stir in the milk, hot sauce and cook 5-8 minutes until the seafood is cooked through. Try not to stir too much so the fish doesn't break apart.

  • Step 4: Finish ... Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper or hot sauce if necessary. Also, add the fresh parsley, and lightly stir to combine.

  • Step 5: Serve ... I just serve with a slice of crusty bread or a soft roll. ENJOY!
