Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add garlic and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add clam juice, cream, cream cheese, sage, lemon juice and lemon zest. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes without lid.
- Add the fish and shrimp. Simmer for 3 minutes or until fish is just cooked (should flake easily). Add the baby spinach and stir until wilted.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh red chili and fresh sage before serving for extra flavor and splash of color.
Tip
As an optional addition, consider adding crushed, dried chili flakes as a garnish on the soup. These add a lovely hot zest to an already delicious soup.

In step 2, the cream is included in the list of ingredients to be added.
That's my only complaint: maybe you can buy clam juice as such in the US. In Germany I'd have to open a tin of clams or mussles (hm, probably more than one) but the recipe does not utilise the clams. It would be very wasteful since no recipe in the meal plan uses clams or mussles.
Maybe you could add a substitute for clam juice in the recipe for those outside the US? Or, if clam juice is not the juice in a can of clams, explain it in a footnote?
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it so much!
Great! So glad you enjoyed it!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
For those wanting to make this dairy-free, I have had luck substituting blended cashews (just veggie broth and 50g of raw, unsalted cashews) for the cream cheese.
So glad you love it, Tammi! Thanks for the tips!
