I have made this recipe five times and it still is good. I added muscles, squid, and cutter fish. No matter how you make it this is a very good recipe. Thanks

I had to make a few substitutions to use what I had on hand. I subbed clams for the octopus, hot salsa for the pasilla chiles, and chicken broth for the water. Also included the corn which was delicious. Added garlic, thyme, bay leaf, black pepper, and mustard. Will make again. Thanks! :)

I had a pack of surimi, baby shrimp, squid, and octopus that I pulled out of the freezer to make this. This made a good base. I made a couple substitutions: 2 quarts low sodium chicken broth for the water, 1/4 cup green chiles for the pasilla chile peppers, For seasoning, I used flax oil, minced garlic, chipotle red pepper, parsley, and salt.I left out the potatoes... Awesome good. This was a great find for a seafood lover. Thanks for sharing!

This was easy to make and it was really good! I added cilantro to the chopped veggies. I didn't have any pasilla peppers, so I added a 8 oz can of tomatoe sauce EL Pato, this has mexican seasonings with a kick. I like the soup to have a little color. I put the sauce in with the shrimp along with some dried orgeno. It was delicious!

I had a bag of mixed seafood and a bag of imitation crabmeat that I got on clearance at Target. I was looking for a recipe to use it and came across this one. Turned out wonderfully! I didn't have any celery so I used celery salt, and used both fresh and stewed tomatoes. I also added a little comino powder to give it a little smokiness. I will definitely be making this again! It was so easy, so fast, and so delicious!

Great taste and very flexible. I had a bag of frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid, muscles, etc.), and I wanted to do a nice soup with it. I used this recipe, and it turned out very good. I would love to try it with fresh octopus. I have a large pot that is also good for frying, so I poured the liquid and seafood into the fried vegetables. I think it really brought out the flavor.
