How ready are you for this Mediterranean style fish soup? This is such a healthy soup and it truly needs no introduction. It uses all nice and fresh ingredients, it is a delicious, light and nutrition-packed meal. Definitely the perfect one-pot meal for any lunch or dinner in the week.

How to make this yummy fish soup?

Using fish stock for this soup would be best and this is pretty easy to make at home. Simply gather some fish heads and tails as well as bones from when you clean or sort your fish out by filleting it, place all (around 1kg altogether)  in a pot with 1.2 l water, some salt (not much) and boil for 30 min. Separate the liquid of the fish bones (a pile of bones at this point) with the help of a sieve. All done and ready to use straight away or freeze if needed later. Do not keep for longer than 1 month in the freezer.

What kind of fish to use?

I personally like fillets of wild salmon because it has a nice colour, a really nice taste and texture, it contains Omega 3 fatty acids. But, any moderately firm white fish like sea bass, sea bream, halibut, hake will work fabulously in this fish soup.

This time I have it was just salmon trimmings and leftovers from a nice Salmon Wellington or this Superb Salmon Pesto And Asparagus Bake - skin and bones carefully removed.

I sometimes chose to use a combination of fish, two or even three types.

What fish cuts are the best for soup?

I use heads, tails, backbone belly trimmings to make the stock and for the soup, I add any deboned and skinned fillet towards the end to avoid overcooking the fish.

You may add other seafood such as scallops, prawns/shrimps squid or octopus. There is no right or wrong really. Use whatever you like or have in hand.

Serving suggestions

  • serve it with a nice crust of rustic sourdough bread
  • serve this with a dollop of creme fraiche or a couple of tablespoons of double cream or heavy cream.
  • or why not serve it (just like we love it) with some pickled or fresh chillies or some chilly flakes
  • my mum used to add boiled rice in this making it so nice and a lot more apealing to us ( I was not a fan of fish soup as a kid)

FAQs

Can I make this soup in advance?

Yes, absolutely! You may prepare in advance and once has cooled you can refrigerate it.

How to store this dish?

Once it has cooled, any leftovers should be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze this soup?

Like any soup, this can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to one month and then thawed and reheated thoroughly before serving.

Can I use frozen packed fish?

Well, ideally, it is to use a good chunk of fresh fish but if this is not available, frozen is also a good alternative.

Tips

If you use a white fish that is not so oily, you may want to add some olive oil. For the salmon or any oily fish, I feel there is no need to add any extra oil at all. It will only spoil the dish by making it too oily. 

If fish trimmings are used, use a fine sieve to remove all bones and pick/separate the flesh to add to the soup later towards the end.

Oh, and if you like soups, here are some more recipes you will enjoy:

  • Creamy fish soup (chowder) - the other fish soup I am making that is absolutely delicious
  • Creamy mushroom soup with turmeric and thyme - a nive vegetarian option
  • Instant Pot Bean Soup - a delicious vegan soup

This soup is super delicious and packed with good vitamins, nutrients as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. Oh, the taste...... I can’t express it.

I think we should just get cooking this wonderful soup

    I love fish soups in general but As long as they’re not too fishy. Weird, I know! I need to say this soup it’s by far the best one I’ve made or had. Thank you for this recipe. I’ve saved it and will definitely make it again and again. Love your recipes are so reliable and everything I’ve made so far came out as described. I’m definitely using your site a lot for my cooking journey and experience since I’m not an experienced cook. Learning. But your recipes are great, easy to follow too. Thank you Ramona 🙏

      Oh my! Thank you so much dear Amber, you have definitely made my day, week and probably year with this comment. I am thrilled you like my recipes and you find them good and reliable. I am doing my best. All my recipes are written by myself, cooked and tried at least a good few times before publishing them for this very reason. I want them to be reliable and as accurate as possible.
      Thank you so very much once again, this message is very sweet and means a lot to me.
      As far as the non-fishy fish soup I totally get that, love fish as long as it is not too fishy. I am exactly the same with desserts, I love desserts as long as they are not too sweet. It does appear we have some things in common 😉
      Please do let me know and would love to hear your feedback on other recipes both good and bad lol 😉 Enjoy your cooking experience and I do hope to hear from you soon!
