Seafood and Vegetable Soup
6 servings
45 minutes
This rich seafood and vegetable soup offers a harmonious blend of fresh seafood and tender vegetables, creating a warm and nourishing flavor. Inspired by American cuisine, it incorporates a variety of ingredients and simplicity in preparation. The secret to its rich aroma is the shrimp broth, which adds depth to the soup's flavor. Cabbage adds softness, while beans and potatoes provide heartiness. A light garlic hint and aromatic herbs make the dish perfect for a cozy family dinner. Seafood can be added to the finished soup or used separately, making the recipe versatile. This soup is a true gastronomic balance of sea breeze and vegetable comfort that warms and delights.

Bring the broth volume to 2 liters, let it boil, and add the seafood cocktail. (Since there are already shrimp, it might be better if they are not included in the cocktail, though it's a matter of taste.) Cook for about 5 minutes.
