Since I made my first egg noodles (pasta), I have been thinking about what sauce (soup) goes with it. I didn’t have salt in my egg noodles. I decided a seafood soup would work perfectly with the noodles. To match my great efforts on the noodles, I chose wild-caught ingredients.

Due to personal preference, I made the soup a little sweet by adding sugar. It is an easy, quick, and savory dish.

Notes

-I bought all seafood ingredients separately. There is premixed seafood (some include mussels) sold at grocers. 
-Dried herbs are optional and could be replaced with fresh basil (minced).
-You can also add some minced red chili peppers.
-You can replace the milk with stock, heavy cream, or even water.
