Mediterranean fish soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. This very tasty and beautiful Mediterranean fish soup is quite simple to prepare. Its special feature lies in the unusual appearance created by large pieces of fish (cod), whole yellow cherry tomatoes, olives, and aromatic rosemary leaves. The flavor of this soup greatly depends on the spices you use and the broth it's cooked in. Actually, you can use either chicken or fish broth. I happened to have some vegetable broth left from a previous cooking session. Using vegetable broth makes the soup as light and lean as possible, which is highly beneficial for your figure—always a plus :) Good luck, and serve the soup hot.
