Lazy way to eat seafood |
Herbs of the trade. |
A few spoons of corn |
Ta da! |
(1) Add the chicken stock and tomatoes and wait til it simmers.
(2) Once simmering, add the onions, zucchini and potatoes.You can definitely go about the traditional way and saute the onions first, but I chose the lazy route!
(3) Add the clam juice along with the seafood. I used canned seafood, but of course fresh would taste much better!
(4) Add the cilantro STEMS first. The leaves turn an icky brown colour when cooked for too long.
(5) Add as little or as much of the herbs as you'd like (oregano, basil, thyme, bay leaf)
(6) Add the corn in!
(7) Let it simmer for a good 20-30 minutes, or even all day! The longer it sits, the longer the flavours marinate together and create this amazing clean-tasting soup.
(8) Before serving, add the cilantro leaves.
All done!
This soup can easily be frozen and saved for other recipes or for another day. It's very easy to customize it to your preferences.
Happy eatings :)!
