Mixed Seafood Soup

This is a very quick soup and came about because I had a package of Trader Joe's Mixed Seafood in the freezer that I needed to use. Turned out to be a terrific dish! You can just purchase the seafood separately if you don't shop at Trader Joe's.

What you need

  1. 1 lb. frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, calamari) - do not thaw
  2. 4 cups diluted chicken broth or seafood broth
  3. 1/3-1/2 lb. sliced crimini mushrooms
  4. 2 stalks celery, diced
  5. 3-4 green onions, chopped
  6. 2 tsp or more dried seasoning blend*
  7. Olive oil or butter, etc. for garnish

How to make it

  1. Heat broth to boiling over medium heat and add mushrooms, celery and seasoning blend
  2. Cook until tender, reduce heat to medium-low
  3. Add frozen seafood and green onions and cook gently until seafood is just cooked
  4. Serve with olive oil or butter added for richness

*Seasoning blends are perfect for quick meals, and in this dish something like Old Bay Seasoning or other seafood seasoning blend is great. Ingredients should include celery seed, paprika, onion, etc. I happen to have some of Angelo's Magic Italian BBQ Spice blend and it was just perfect.
