- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the soup.
- Serve the soup with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrus flavor.
- Feel free to customize the seafood selection based on your preferences and availability.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch mixed with water to the broth and simmer until it thickens.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
