Fish soup
Fish soup is a warm food made by combining fish or seafood with vegetables and stock, juice, water, or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth.

Typically, a fish soup includes fish, seafood, vegetables, and a broth. The fish and seafood can include a variety of species, such as salmon, cod, shrimp, and clams. The vegetables can include onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes. The broth is typically made from water, fish stock, or a combination of the two.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of fish soup can vary greatly depending on the recipe. However, most fish soups involve the following steps:
- Preparing the fish and seafood: This can involve cleaning, descaling, and filleting the fish, as well as cleaning and preparing any other seafood.
- Preparing the vegetables: This typically involves washing, peeling, and chopping the vegetables.
- Cooking the soup: This usually involves sautéing the vegetables in a pot, adding the fish and seafood, and then adding the broth. The soup is then simmered until the fish and seafood are cooked and the flavors have melded together.
