Basque Fish Soup

I just re-found this recipe while going through my mom's old file box. she used to make this quite often when i was a child. she probably found the recipe in the newspaper. this is a quick, easy and delicious recipe using ingredients that i usually have on hand. it's also very versatile as for substituting....i didn't have fresh parsley so i used dried. i only had 1 can of diced tomatoes so i used the can of ro-tel, which i did have on hand. also, use any combo of fish/shellfish...tonight i made this using 2 small tilapia fillets and 1/2 lb. Of bay scallops, it was a nice combo. this is a great cold weather soup....it will give you the warm fuzzies. i served it with freshly baked dinner rolls, though a crusty bread would be nice too.
