Light Soup with Seafood

Prepare a quick and useful soup with seafood. Feed the family or loved ones, enjoy the sunny days and be happy. What I like in this soup is versatility and texture. About first one, I understand that here can be any ingredients: mussels, shrimps, scallops, octopuses, as well as mushrooms, chicken pieces and so on. Even good chorizo pieces. And texture – here we get not the usual cream soup or mashed potatoes, but rather a liquid but thick soup. Therefore, take any additions to this soup, everything will work. You know, it has such an easy anise taste, a bit spicy. It is very good for the summer, such flavors are easily invigorated, and there is no gravity after.
