#2Add your celery , cauliflower and chicken broth simmer until vegetables are tender and 5 – 7 minutes .
#3(Optional: I poached the fish before adding it to the soup, so the soup wouldn’t taste too “fishy” for the kids. ) In a med saucepan bring 3 cups of water to boil. Add shrimp to boiling water for 10 seconds, remove then add to soup. Add salmon to boiling water for 5 mins, remove, chop in bit size pieces and add to broth.
#3 Remove skin from salmon and chop in bit size pieces, add to soup along with the raw shrimp (peeled).
#4 Simmer slowly stir in coconut milk, bring to boil and then simmer for approx. 10 minutes.
