This was a surprisingly successful “clean out the pantry & freezer because I don’t want to go to the store” soup. (I love when an experiment works the first time!)

• 1 box (32 oz) vegetable broth
• 16 oz frozen cubed hash browns (half of 32 oz bag)
• 2 frozen fish fillets (I used Haddock)
• 1 cup carrots, cubed or sliced
• 3 4 oz cans shrimp (or clams)
• 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with green peppers
• 2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tbsp dried minced onion
• 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
• 1 tbsp Old Bay or your favorite seafood seasoning
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• Salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
