Seafood can get pricey fast, especially if you’re landlocked like we are. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t need fresh-off-the-boat fish to make a delicious fish soup at home. I use frozen tilapia in this recipe as it’s affordable, easy to keep on hand, and makes this Budget-Friendly Fish Soup totally doable. I also toss in a can of butter beans to make it even heartier, and everything simmers in a rich, slightly smoky, tomato-y broth made from everyday ingredients. This soup is the BEST easy high-protein lunch or dinner, and it’s ready in no time!

Easy Fish Soup Recipe

This super nutritious soup recipe was a hit with my mother-in-law, Karen, and my father-in-law, Lloyd, during their last visit. They love seafood, too, which made this budget-friendly fish soup a fast favorite for them. (Lloyd also LOVES Beth’s Zuppa Toscana, so I know he has good taste.) 😉 Karen is one of my favorite people to test Budget Bytes recipes on because she loves to eat healthily (but hates to cook!), and she’s also The Master at couponing and budgeting! So, whenever she comes to stay with us, I know I can get some serious work done.

I secretly already knew this soup would be a winner with them, but this recipe proves that simple, cheap ingredients can still pack a punch of flavor! So, if you’ve got any frozen tilapia hanging out in the freezer, this easy soup recipe is the perfect way to turn it into something totally delicious.
