I was really concerned about the amount of alcohol in this soup because if something tastes like it has too much wine then my kids do not like it. I should not have worried. I cannot believe how fast my family ate this! I had to use diced tomatoes instead of stewed so I am sure that did create some difference but it was still great. The main thing I did differently was sub half the shrimp with a large can of whole baby clams. I used the broth for the clam juice and just dumped the clams in after it had finished cooking. That worked perfectly since my youngest does not like shrimp and pulled it out. More for mel

Great stew! Used tilapia and sherry instead of white wine because that's all I had and it still came out great.I also added one additional chipotle bouillon cube to kick it up a notch.

THE WHOLE FAMILY LOVED IT!!! Thank you! Used cod and shrimp rather than clams; veggie bouillon rather than chicken. Added some Cajun seasoning. Let it simmer for an hour before adding seafood. I'll definitely make it again! Although there are a lot of ingredients, it's not hard. :) Oh, so savory!

Simple and delicious! I used wild alaskan rocksole, scallops and shrimp. I also added okra and corn. I also added 1 C sherry in addition to the white wine.

LOVED it! Followed the recipe exactly as stated and it was a big hit, even with our 9-yr-old! This will be a cold-weather staple in our house for sure!

This is a ridiculously good soup. The only suggestion I would have is to cut back on the red pepper, it was a tad bit spicy. Like another reviewer, I added a can of corn and it was amazing! Used a pound of tilapia for the fish. Yum!

This was very good! I didn't have shrimp in my freezer so I used clams, scallops and fish and it was still great. Next time will definitely add the shrimp.

I am making this for this evening ... it is cold and rainy here today ... I will serve it with hot bisquits ... however, I intend to prepare it emphasizing the 'stew-like' quality vs. 'soup-like' quality and serve over white rice ... I have miscellaneous small pieces of fish in the freezer ... so I will use them this way and add shrimp ... my mother made something like this ... we loved it ... I will report in tomorrow as to the outcome!! UPDATE ... Okay, I made it!! And it was utterly fantastic ... of course, I made a few slight alterations ... which is not always the best thing to do to a recipe ... but I did ... used a bit of bell pepper, clams in the can vs. clam juice (wanted stew not soup) ... used red vs. white wine ... wanted a richer stew ... used various fish and shrimp vs. white fish ... otherwise, I followed the recipe to a tee ... we absolutedly loved this stew ... it was wonderful ... served over white rice ...

To all reviewers who were confused how people could have such vastly different opinions on the same taste. Everyone is different. It takes all kinds to make life interesting. We are not all born from the same mother or cut from the same cloth or shaped with the same mold. Viva La Difference. It's just like lamb. You either Hate it or you Love it. Very rarely is there an indifferent. I just happen to know the one man in Washington state who stands in that middle. LOL. Anyway. I am going to go and make my own fish stew recipe right now. I will post it when I am satisfied with it, and I am certain that there will be people who think there is too much of this, not enough of that, and what the heck were you thinking making this waste of food product.... It's all good. XD
