Description

Perfect for lunch. This incredibly aromatic and hearty French soup will delight you and your family. It turns out not only very tasty but also healthy, as sea fish and seafood contain iodine. The soup takes 1–1.5 hours to prepare, but the result is worth it. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

    Prepare the necessary ingredients.

  2. 2

    Step 4

    Pour in hot water and place the container on the stove. Boil everything for about 40–50 minutes over medium heat from the moment it starts boiling, so that the broth fully absorbs all the flavors and aromas of the fish and shrimp.
