One of my all time Favourites. I sometimes use Trader Joe's frozen seafood medley and a few fresh shrimp . Great dish for entertaining, served with a green salad and good bread

The acid of the tomato stops the vegetables from cooking, so it is important to either cook the potatoes separately or add the tomatoes after the potatoes are cooked.

Excellent. A real nice fish soup. Will do it again.
