Creamy Norwegian Fish Soup image

When we lived in Norway we used to eat lots of fish...this recipe reminds me of a fish soup which was very common there. You can use other fish and shellfish. The potatoes and tomatoes are ingredients I have been adding over the years and listed them as optional.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, sustainably sourced seafood, creamy broth, and flavorful vegetables will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference, so taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers: A warm bowl of seafood soup is even more enjoyable when served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
