What a nice soup on a cold evening. I only needed two servings, used 6 oz fish and maybe 4 ounces of bay scallops instead of the shellfish called for, since it's what I had on hand. Also used half the tomatoes, probably half the nutmeg, and none of the coriander, as I had none. I used all the liquid and other ingredients, and this was just two servings, so if making for more, you might need more liquid and veggies. Oh, I did add a pinch of thyme, that goes so well with seafood. What I particularly liked is that you can make most of this well ahead of time. I had cooked the veggies and simmered this morning, When we were ready for it, it took just a few minutes to bring up to a simmer and add the fish. Used that time to warm up some bread.
