Serving a Main Meal Fish Soup:
- This main meal fish soup is great served piping hot along with crusty bread, croutons and toast (for the compulsive dunker in all of us).
- Another great way to have this soup is to add a tablespoon dollop of sour cream onto the center of the soup a very gently stir to create a spiral effect.
- Another great idea for busy people on the go is to prepare this fish soup dish tonight using full or extra quantities of above cited ingredients.
- Soup can be stored frozen but we never have enough left over to do so regularly as any extra soup is taken hot to work or school in flask. If you have access to a microwave a quick nuke, let it stand for 2 minutes and then dig in and enjoy!
