Glens Bouillabaisse Fish Soup

---

Adapted from a recipe in my microwave book as well as from others online. we love this and it is easy because you can make the soup base, freeze it then reheat when needed and add the seafood minutes before eating. i sometimes like to serve it with rice but usually just with crusty bread. don't overcook fish or seafood and stock must not be boiling whilst cooking seafood so don't forget to reduce heat. You can use any seafood, crabs, lobster etc.
