Seafood Soups
My mother in law makes THE best lobster soup in the world (note to self: get recipe from mum in law). I am actually very fond of seafood soups as they are often light yet tasty. I don't like a strong, fishy smell but instead the soup should have a pleasant ocean aroma, it should remind you of walks by the sea, of sand and of sea shells. It should not remind you of actual fish! We are lucky in Iceland having an abundance of fresh catch from the sea each day although if you are not able to source your fish from a fish monger you can always use frozen fish instead.
A Simple Fish Soup
This soup is both very simple to make and cheap and perfect mid week, especially when you have a bit of cooked leftover fish in the fridge.
Coconut and Salmon Noodle Soup
This soup is the perfect one to make if you have a bit of leftover salmon in the freezer or fridge.
Lobster Soup (Bisque)
I am not particularly fond of lobster or shrimp although I might eat it a couple of times a year. My husband however loves both.
Mediterranean Seafood Soup
This soup is quite versatile as you can use various types of seafood. I particularly like mussels and salmon or haddock in it.
Mussels and Potato Soup
In Iceland lots of people pick fresh mussels from the coastline. There are several places you can do this and one very popular is in the South-western part of the island.
Thai Noodle Soup with Shrimp
This soup is so good and it is fairly quick if you can get your hands on some decent Thai green curry paste. The ones that are sold in health food stores are usually quite nice.
