Spicy Fish Soup

Omg...we smoked a big cod and I didn't know what to do with it. ..I ran across your recipe..what do to with left over cod...made this soup...WOW..so good 👍 take your time and let it simmer like the recipe says..SO GOOD ..thank you..

I will absolutely make this again, although I improvised. It’s delicious! 1. I was unsure of the reason for the yogurt, besides the reviews indicated the yogurt created a less appetizing appearance, so I didn’t use it. Typically yogurt neutralizes spiciness and I was confused why I’d use yogurt and remove heat from a “spicy fish soup”. 2. I make my own stock, always richer than what one buys. I salvage and freeze the rendering from baked chicken, (or beef and seafood, for that matter). That’s what I used for the chicken broth. 3. I used the entire can of diced tomatoes, using that to create the liquid that the broth would have. 4. There was no cod at the store so I used catfish, which I cooked in the broth, until it broke up. 5. I also used 1/2 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb scallops, but since I like my shell fish “just done” so it’s not stuff, after the soup was finished, I added the shrimp and scallops and allowed them to steam cook in the broth, in the covered pan.

Not a bad base, but definitely needs some work. First just skip the yogurt, no one needs that nonsense. Then substitute 1 or 2 large fresh jalapeños for the can of chilis, but then pour in about 1/4 cup of tomatilla salsa for that green chili flavor. Odds are it still won't be very spicy, but whatever that is what hot sauce is for. One & a half cups of broth is clearly inadequate, just fill that pot with a solid quart. I have no idea why anyone would use just 1 clove of garlic, you need at least 3/4 of an entire bulb, a clove is a snack not an ingredient. Oh and add salt, lots of salt.

I used carrots, celery, and cabbage. I didn’t use Green chiles I used crushed peppers. I also added oregano.

Very Tasty! This is a family favorite now! Thanks for sharing!!!

I didnt see how it says to cook the fish/shrimp so i seasoned the fish (salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder) and cooked in canola oil in a skillet. I doubled the recipe. Used 4 Jalapeno in place of a can of green chiles. Used 2 fresh tomato in place of a can. Chose fire roasted tomato. Used Sour Cream instead of yogurt. Very good, heckin spicy!!

I love this recipe. It is my absolute favorite soup to make. I follow the recipe exactly. I make it ever month and it instantly makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect amount of kick and full of flavor. Serve with a side rice or mix right into your bowl
