“We love this hefty soup on Sundays during football season. For a little extra zip to rally spirits, we sometimes add red pepper flakes or use jalapeno-flavored tomatoes," says Mary Adams of Fairport, New York. "It's also delicious with real crab meat.”

I wasn't sure of this based on the ingredients, but it was really really good!

Just follow the recipe and read the reviews to see what not to use! A+++

We really enjoyed this recipe. It's quite simple and easy to prepare, which was a bonus. I added a can of chicken broth and no white wine, as it was what I had on hand. Plus, I omitted the clams, as I may not have measured the amount of crab and shrimp and there was quite a bit of meat in the soup.

We will definitely make this again. One thing I learned, though, is make sure your salsa is appropriate. I used a southwest salsa, as it was what was open in my fridge, and the corn and black beans were a little weird.

Thanks for the recipe!

I made this for my family and was a little leary because of the canned seafood, but it was excellent. My husband and kids all enjoyed it.

I could easily make this recipe once a month. It's delicious! I used 2 cans of minced clams (drained and rinsed one can). I made the sauce on the stovetop, then dumped it all into a crockpot and left on low for a couple of hours to let the flavors blend. I added the shrimp, crabmeat, and clams in the last 20 minutes and cooked until the shrimp was pink. We might barbecue the shrimp next time, and add some barbecued tilapia to this too. PERFECT recipe.

OK, all the great comments are true. My husband and I loved this hearty stick-to-your-ribs soup. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the ingredient list. Salsa and spaghetti sauce? Yuck. Even as it was simmering, it didn't smell like something I would like, but it does all come together at the end when you add in the seafood items. It was amazing. The only change I made was using real crab meat. Outstanding!

We loved this recipe, but I have a few tweaks. I used "medium" Picante and my husband suggested you could probably taste the seafood better using "mild". I was more generous on the spices. I also added some orzo pasta, but think any tiny pasta would add that something extra. I can't wait to make it again. Thank you!

This soup is simply amazing. I will definately be making it again.

This was good as is, but to spice it up a little and cut down on the strong tomato taste, I added 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and1/2 cup heavy cream. Now it's a 5 star!! Delicious!

Soooooooooo yummy and so simple. A real winner

I've made this several times now. I've made it exactly as the recipes suggests, I've made it with all real crabmeat, all shrimp, odds and ends of fish, and all clams. And pretty much any combination of the above. I use diced tomatoes with green chilis usually, and when I use all clams I cut back on the chicken broth and use some clam juice. I am convinced you CAN"T make this to come out any way but amazing.

I made this Thanksgiving last year for my in-laws and they could not get enough. This year the in-laws have put in a special request for it.

I have made this a few times, most recently for a group meeting of 6 men who ate every bite and requesting the recipe for their wives. I used a can of pizza sauce instead of spaghetti sauce, a small can of shrimp and imitation crab. This is a real crowd pleaser for me.

I made this for Thanksgiving to start the day and it was such a hit. My in-laws didn't even speak all you heard was the cling of the spoon when they were done.

I added some matchstick carrots for color and texture. After I sautee'd the onion/garlic/green pepper, I threw everything (except the seafood) in the crockpot and put it on low for 3 hours. Then

I added the seafood and cooked on low for about 30-40 minutes. Yum! Easy!!

for 3 hours.

I have made this soup several times & it is very good. The last 2 times I made it I added some cooked pasta to it when I added the shrimp.
