Italian fish soup
Description
A hearty first course. Italian fish soup is a delightful, even exotic dish for us, which we cannot afford often. But sometimes we can treat ourselves to this delicious pleasure. When preparing this soup, we can let our imagination run wild, substituting one seafood for another, yet the charm of this dish will remain unchanged. Italian fish soup is served beautifully in individual cocottes. Instead of bread, it's better accompanied by toasts. Elegant, tasty, and sophisticated. Serve the soup hot.
