This was SOOOO good and really healthy. I by used quinoa instead of rice and added some garlic with the veggies in the beginning. I also threw in some spinach and lemon juice at the end. I used frozen scallops because that is all I had and it turned out great. Really solid lunch recipe!!

Great recipe! Quick, tasty and healthy. I made some modifications - I added a few minced garlic cloves to the olive oil and I pureed the tomatoes in a blender before adding to the veggies/stock mixture - it gives the soup a nice texture. I used peeled shrimp instead of scallops. (Next time I think I'll try spooning on some lump crabmeat before serving!) Thanks!

I made a number of alterations, as I used this recipe last minute on a snow day, my husband said it was one of the best soups he'd ever had. I used shrimp instead of scallops, had no celery, added one clove of garlic and some white wine, orzo instead of rice and last but not least dried basil instead of fresh - very yummy!!

I'm not a fan of this recipe. I didn't care for the taste. The soup was more like a stew. It was not what I expected.

I've made this soup following the recipe, and also with my own changes. Both were delicious. To change, I used cooked orzo pasta instead of rice and replaced the seafood with chicken. Note though, the orzo soaked up a LOT of the liquid and got so big and fat that the soup turned into a stew. Still very yummy though! Oh, and I also added a splash of white wine to the veggies when sauteing them, as I always seem to have some leftover wine in the fridge. It gives the finished product a nice depth.

This recipe has become a family favorite. Sometimes I substitute a big bag of mixed seafood (calamari, shrimp, cod, etc.) for the scallops.

This is one of the best soup recipes I have ever eaten. I don't care much for basil, so I didn't put much in. I can't wait to share this recipe with others.

Overall pretty good, nothing super fancy but it's tasteful and filling- can be used as an apetizer or a meal.

This was delicious soup and easy and quick to make. The scallops were a great addition. I added 3 cans of water because we like our soup less thick. Thanks for the great recipe!
