  4. Remove clams and add vegetable stock, cream, diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, diced fish, and thawed shrimp to the pot.
  5. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  6. Return clams to the pot, stir in freshly chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, ideally with crusty bread.
