  1. Very delicious and fresh-tasting. It tastes much more orangey than anticipated, and I only used about 3/4 t. of freshly grated orange peel. I used a poblano pepper for the green chili. I also accidentally thawed out bay scallops instead of cod, so that's what went in there instead of fish. I had to use canned clams and crab because that's all that was available. It was a very good soup. I enjoyed eating it with a slice of asiago cheese bread to dunk in it. Despite there being 2 cups of wine in it, it doesn't taste overly wine-y at all and would be safe to serve to people who don't care for wine as a dominant flavor. I think next time I would use some crab surimi instead of real canned crab or even frozen. Cut up into chunks, it would be really nice.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
