Fish and Veggie Soup

Fish and veggie soup with Old bay

This flavorful soup is packed with veggies and fish and seasoned with Old bay and Cajun seasoning which gives it a wonderful seafood flavor! This fish and veggie soup is a favorite of mine to make when I have Tilapia or salmon on hand and pairs well with Copy cat Red Lobster Biscuits, Garlic pretzel knots or Homemade bread!

Notes* If you prefer more broth in your soup you can add 4-5 cups instead of 3. 
Spinach can also be added to the soup. Add the spinach after the fish and veggies have sauteed a bit and you are ready to add the broth.

Equipment needed for this fish and veggie soup with Old bay:

  • 5 quart stock pot A large 5 quart stockpot is nice to have for many types of soups, especially this fish and veggie soup!
  • Cutting board. All those veggies require a nice cutting board, I prefer to use a plastci one that is also dish washer friendly.
  • Chef’s knife A nice and sharp chef’s knife will help the chopping process go more smoothly!

Substitutions:

you can also use 3 cups water and 2-3 chicken bouillon cubes instead of the chicken broth.

If you are following a specific diet and cannot have meat, or meat broth, you can use vegetable broth in this fish and veggie soup.

Seasonings can be added or subtracted from. A good substitute for Cajun seasoning would be garlic salt (you may wish to add it to taste).

You can also add or subtract from the veggies, If you want a quick and easy version simply add a bag of veggie medley to the soup instead of carrots, mushrooms and corn. If adding frozen veggies you can add them in when you add the broth and tomato juice, because they will not need to be sauteed.

Seafood is a favorite of mine, no matter what form it comes in! I like to buy Fish and shrimp when on sale and then keep it in my freezer for special occasions such as this fish and veggie soup or Salmon stuffed shells! This fish and veggie soup can also be made with vegetable broth if you are following the Pescatarian diet.

    Made this last evening, & we loved it! I used Mahi Mahi, since that’s what I had available. For us, it was spiced enough without Cajun seasoning or cayenne pepper.
