Easy hack for a healthy Seafood Soup

Having a bowl of hearty, comforting soup on cold days is absolute heaven. I’m not into heavy-duty cooking on Tuesday nights, and a single-pot meal or a healthy, fulfilling bowl of soup works just fine for me. After a quick check of my fridge, I found a few chunks of Kingfish and Shrimp. That was enough to churn out a delicious Seafood Soup. My recipe is hands-down simple and takes just twenty minutes to be on the table. Do try it when you are in the mood for a light dinner.
