Tips:
- Use the freshest seafood you can find. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much seafood, it will not cook evenly and the soup will be less flavorful.
- Use a variety of seafood. This will give your soup a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
