Interesting...only "blackened" soup I've "created" was when I really had to
do something with a case of cut or sliced up shrooms and made soup. Really bad idea.
Tasted heavenly, if I do say so myself, but it was grayblack and looked
like....well, use your imagination. Couldn'ta given it away.

Nonetheless....what about blackening some fish normally but using it in a
fish/seafood chowder that's been jazzed up with some good ole chiles? Of
course you can use blackened fish in gumbo. Or mebbe you could do
something with this recipe I've used for Bouillabaisse. I'll give the
original from _Cajun_ _Cuisine_ (1985, Beau Bayou Publishing Co.).

"Fish heads, fish heads...eat 'em up, yum"

1. Pour oil inot a heavy, large pot, coating sides well, season fish with
salt and cayenne pepper.

continue to layer these ingredients until all the fish has been usd,
finishing with a layer of onions and tomatoes.

3. Cover pot and put on a very low heat to cook for two hours. Do not
stir.
