Fish soup
Fish soup is a type of soup with fish or seafood as the primary ingredient. It is a popular dish in many parts of the world, and there are a variety of recipes and methods of preparation.
The earliest evidence of fish soup dates back to the 3rd century AD, when fish sauce was first mentioned by the Roman writer Apicius in his cookbook De re coquinaria. Fish soup was also a common dish in medieval England, and was often made with eel or other freshwater fish.
By the 18th century, recipes for fish soup were appearing in cookbooks from across Europe, including France, Italy, and Scandinavia. These recipes typically called for a variety of fish and seafood, along with vegetables and seasonings.
Advice
When making fish soup, it is important to use fresh ingredients. Start by selecting the freshest fish from your local fishmonger or grocery store. Make sure to remove any bones, scales, or skin before adding the fish to the soup. For a flavorful broth, sauté vegetables such as onions, celery, and carrots in a bit of butter or oil. Then, add fish stock, white wine, and herbs such as thyme, oregano, and bay leaves. Finally, add the fish and simmer until cooked through. The addition of cream or milk at the end will give the soup a rich, creamy texture. Enjoy!
