Portuguese Traditional Fish Soup
Well, here it is, my favorite soup that my mother used to make for me. I remember that I enjoyed it when it was cold outside; it really warmed me up. The only drawback I had was that when I ate a bowl or two, I got very sleepy. What I like about this fish recipe is that it does not taste fishy, but gives a nice all-around Mediterranean appeal. Now I usually add a lot more liquid to the bowl, but for the picture, I used less in order to show you the filling.
Of course, she made it right from scratch when she boiled the whole fish and then removed the head, tail, and skin. This was just too much work for me, so I prefer to use skinless filets; it just makes my life a bit easier. Now she never used shrimp; that is my addition to the soup. I guess that it was just not to her liking.
I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do, and please let me know how yours turned out.
