Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

1/4 cup sherry or vermouth
2 pounds red snapper fillet, cut in chunks

directions
Combine the tomatoes, onion, okra, green onions, broth, and sherry in a crock pot. Mix well, then gently stir in the red snapper.

common recipe questions
Can I use other fish in this recipe?
Yes, other fish that will work well include cod, mahi mahi, halibut, sea bass, grouper, or tilapia. Make sure to use thicker cuts of fish (like tilapia loins instead of fillets) otherwise they will disintegrate while cooking.
Can I substitute something for the okra?
The okra in this recipe adds both flavor and bulk to the recipe. You can substitute things like green beans, diced potatoes, or a combination of diced bell peppers and celery, if desired.
Are there non-alcoholic substitutes for the sherry/vermouth?
You can use apple cider vinegar or white grape juice as decent flavor substitutes. Or, just add extra broth to account for the liquid.

Only change I made was to add some cayenne pepper to give it some kick. Otherwise, fantastic snapper soup. At first I considered that it might be faster and just as easy to cook it on the stovetop instead of a slow cooker but I think the flavors melded better with the low and slow cooking. Really tasty. 100% will make again soon!
