Fish soup
Description
A hearty and aromatic soup. A truly golden fish soup is made from red fish with the addition of turmeric or curry to the broth. If you don't have these spices on hand, you'll need a bit more carrot, but it should be grated on a fine grater before adding to the broth. Ladle into bowls and serve.
