Fish and Tomato Soup – Perfect Way to Use Thinner Pieces of Fish
Good tomato soup is always a winner. Therefore I make quite a few different types of tomato soup, which I’m sure many other people do as well.
In my repertoire, there are thick soups with roasted tomatoes or thinner soups I serve with pasta. I cook tomato soup with beans and with other vegetables too. What can I say, I can never get tired and bored of them.
I thought about this recipe when I ended up with some fish “leftovers” after I cut out nice, thick fillets from cod.
This Fish and Tomato Soup is a great way of using such thinner parts of cod or any other white fish. It is aromatic and substantial, as the addition of chopped tomatoes and green peas turns it almost into a stew.
Another significant advantage of this soup – it is very easy and quick to prepare.
