Easy Homemade Italian Fish Soup
Description
This Italian Fish Soup combines various seafood such as shrimp, cod, calamari, and mussels cooked together in olive oil with garlic and optional hot pepper flakes. After lightly cooking the seafood, dry white wine is added followed by tomato puree, water, oregano, basil, and fresh parsley. The mixture simmers until the flavors meld and the broth thickens to a stew-like consistency.
The soup showcases fresh herb aromas with a balanced acidity from the tomato component and weight from the diverse seafood. It presents a hearty texture with chunks of fish and shellfish throughout the fragrant broth.
Traditionally served with thick slices of grilled or plain Italian bread, the bread is perfect for soaking up the rich tomato broth. Leftover soup will keep for two days refrigerated or can be frozen for several months, making it convenient for planning meals ahead.
