Budget-Friendly Fish Soup

Seafood can get pricey fast, especially if you’re landlocked like we are. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t need fresh-off-the-boat fish to make a delicious fish soup at home. I use frozen tilapia in this recipe as it’s affordable, easy to keep on hand, and makes this Budget-Friendly Fish Soup totally doable. I also toss in a can of butter beans to make it even heartier, and everything simmers in a rich, slightly smoky, tomato-y broth made from everyday ingredients. This soup is the BEST easy high-protein lunch or dinner, and it’s ready in no time!

Easy Fish Soup Recipe

This super nutritious soup recipe was a hit with my mother-in-law, Karen, and my father-in-law, Lloyd, during their last visit. They love seafood, too, which made this budget-friendly fish soup a fast favorite for them. (Lloyd also LOVES Beth’s Zuppa Toscana, so I know he has good taste.)
