Soup of fish and seafood

Soup of fish and seafood

Today we prepare a classic on the Christmas tables: Soup of fish and seafood. A soup that of course we can also enjoy the rest of the year; just adjust the number and type of fish and shellfish to achieve a recipe that fits our budget.

As it is a festive soup, we have incorporated hake, monkfish, clams, mussels and prawns. The bones and heads of the chosen fish and shellfish have been used to make the stock, one of the keys to a good fish soup. Thus, nothing is wasted and the flavor improves substantially.
