Tilapia Po'Boy and Cold Blueberry Soup

It has been a while! Turns out that two young children, a full time job, an adjunct faculty position, volunteer commitments, and a global pandemic do not leave a lot of time for other activities. Yet, I am cooking more than ever these days and am constantly experimenting and looking for new recipes and options. I continue to focus on speed yet health and whole foods, quite a difference from my pre-children days whenever everything was made from scratch, but I also look for constant variety.

In this case, I had been craving my favorite shrimp po'boy sandwich from Woodruffs in Philadelphia... but living in a suburb, I don't get there too often, and especially not now when we go absolutely nowhere. I also recognize that while amazingly delicious, it likely isn't the healthiest option out there. So my solution? A healthy po'boy that hits the same notes but with little guilt. I chose to pair it with a chilled blueberry soup since for some reason I put that in the same 'southern' category, but really, what doesn't go with a delicious po'boy?!? So let's get to it!

Total Time: 4.5 hours (nearly all chilling time for the soup)
