Fisherman’s Soup Recipe with Tilapia, Shrimp, Tomatoes & Capers

This Fisherman’s Soup combines tilapia and shrimp simmered in a broth enriched with tomatoes, capers, and aromatic vegetables like onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrot. White wine and herbs add depth while crushed chile flakes provide mild heat. The result is a light, seafood-forward soup with tender fish pieces and shrimp in a savory, slightly tangy broth.

Description

The Fisherman’s Soup recipe develops flavor by sautéing onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and carrot in olive oil until softened. Dried oregano and crushed chile flakes are then added briefly to release aromas before introducing chopped parsley and dry white wine. After simmering to meld flavors, canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth create a flavorful base.

Tilapia is added first and cooked just until nearly done, ensuring tender, flaky fish. Shrimp is added near the end to avoid overcooking, preserving its texture. Capers are stirred in last, contributing a briny, tangy note. Salt and black pepper adjust seasoning, rounding out the broth's savory components.

This seafood soup is served hot, showcasing a blend of mild spice, fresh herbs, and seafood flavors. It can be a light meal or starter, balancing delicate seafood with the acidity of tomatoes and a subtle kick from chile flakes. The soup yields a satisfying combination of textures with firm fish pieces and plump shrimp.

Notes include Weight Watchers points, but no other storage or preparation tips, focusing on the cooking and serving of fresh soup.
