Note
Use firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or haddock for best results. Ensure the fish is cut into bite-sized chunks before adding.
Clams should be cleaned and scrubbed before adding. Discard any clams that do not open during cooking.
For a richer broth, you can sauté the onions, celery, and garlic in a pan with the oil before transferring them to the slow cooker.
Fresh parsley should be added just before serving to maintain its color and fresh flavor.
This soup is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the seafood.
