I really like making my own fish or assorted seafood soup at home because I can use a fish of my choice (most of the time cod as it’s not fishy) and top with as much ingredients as I want to make it into a hearty, wholesome yet very healthy meal. All we need is a very good chicken stock (preferably fresh than store-bought as the latter contains a lot of sodium) and it is a breeze to turn this Seafood Bee Hoon Soup Recipe into a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Perfect for the busy and health-conscious cook. Enjoy!

I’ve moved away from Singapore and I’m missing the fish soups from the Hawker Centres. I’m going to attempt to make this tonight!
Let me know how it goes 🙂
