Fish Soup/Stew With Vegetables image

Years ago, I adapted this recipe from a 1970s paperback Booth's (Pillsbury) Fish and Seafood Cookbook. It has always had rave reviews from tasters here. It's on the stove now and two of our past exchange students, who are visiting now, want to know why I never served it before. It's quick, easy, tasty and nourishing. We love the herbs, so I tend to use up to a full teaspoon of each.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. I love to make it on a cold, rainy day.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the fish. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to fish, so I made this soup with chicken instead. It was still really good.

This soup is way too fishy for my taste. I think I'll stick to chicken soup next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as the picture. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this soup. The vegetables and broth were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the fish.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover fish. I always have a few pieces of fish left over after dinner, and this is a great way to use them up.

This soup is so versatile. I added some extra vegetables that I had on hand, and it turned out just as good. I also think it would be great with different types of fish.
