Mexican Seafood Posole

Something different for dinner. This soup had an amazing flavor, we were left wondering where it came from. Extremely simple ingredients produce an incredibly complex broth, paired with a bag of mixed frozen seafood (shrimp, scallops, and calamari), this is definitely something we’ll make again (and we don’t say that often).

Not only is it delicious, it’s easy too. Easy enough that I can cook it all myself while Taylor coats himself (and the bedroom) in paint. Not only cook it, but manage to clean it up at the same time, usually a feat only Taylor can accomplish (sorry, but I’m not as adept at multi-tasking as he is. When I cook, I COOK. And that’s it.) You have to love recipes that require very little slicing and dicing, but rather, just opening a can and dumping it in the pot. Awesome.
