Light & Refreshing Seafood Soup

As the temps get colder & the holiday food gets richer & heavier…I start looking for fresh, healthful hot meal alternatives.  And nothing checks off all these boxes like this light & refreshing seafood soup.  You say you’ve never had a seafood soup?  Well…what about cioppino, clam chowder, pho?  Unlike those other more complicated seafood soups, this version is so basic, so easy & so delish!  It’ll take you literally about 30min to make – start to finish.  And significantly less time to eat!  Enjoy!
