Join my online French cooking classes 👨🍳: [ Ссылка ] this video will show you how to make a French Fish soup, bouillabaisse style from scratch. It is a step by step video with easy to follow instructions.
If you like fish this is a dish not to miss. for the
best results you will have to make your own fish fumet or stock and use 4 or 5 types of fish. if you cannot make your own fish stock don't worry as this recipe can also be made using an of the shelf fish stock.
As a side note, if you want to have the soup thicker you can add 1 boiled potato in the soup before blending and filtering it. Make sure to use a sieve with medium size holes and if you can, ideally use a manual vegetable mill which will extract the juices as well as some of the fish flesh.
Ingredients you need to make 1 liter of soup (enough for 4 starter size bowls or plates). for 2 liter of soup, just multiply all proportion by 2. (except the ingredients to make the Aioli)
