  • ½ cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 300g fish, chopped
  • 150g raw prawns
  • Can crab meat
  • ½ bunch spring onions, sliced fine
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic (in jar)
  • 375ml tin low fat evaporated milk
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 6 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

  • In a separate saucepan bring the tin of evaporated milk plus 1 ½ cups of the skim milk to the boil.
  • Blend the cornflour with the remaining ½ cup of skim milk.
  • When the pot of milk has reached boiling, add it to the pot of soup.
