    OMG this was a wonderful template for me to create something DEICIOUS! Some of the ingredients I didn't have on hand. I had regular hickory bacon, used diced tomatoes with green chilies, added 1 c ketchup, 1/2 c white wine, increased the water to 6c (I love soup), and used 1.5 lbs seasfood variety. I also added 3 packets of splenda. It was awesome. I also addred 6 chicken boullion (no chick broth onhand)mexican spices, cajun blend seasoning, oregano, and garlic..all to taste.

    Excellent recipe- I did make a couple of changes to suit personal taste-I did not thicken it, used a 142g tin of clam nectar (size not specified in the recipe) and a 340g bag of frozen Seafood consisting of Octopus rings, Cuttlefish,Shrimp. squid, mussels and clams. Followed all the very clear steps and at the end added 1 jalapeno pepper chopped. It sounds as if I made a lot of changes but not really when you look at it- I did omit the bacon to cut back on fat & calories. Thanks Pam for a keeper seafood recipe — posted Oct 5, 2004

    This is a MUST keep recipe! I tripled this for a beach party we went to, I had fresh blackfish, added a can of whole baby clams and a bag of frozen mixed seafood that was mussels, shrimp, and squid, both tentacles and rings I omited the imitation crab due to personal preference. I heated it up with chopped jalepenos added in with the celery and onion along with some cayenne. I also subbed turnip for the potato which lots of people mentioned they loved in there. The broth was amazing and clean tasting for the lack of a bunch of fat and salt , had grilled ciabatta bread for dipping. Great soup!
