Soup French Coastal Mediterranean Fish Pureed

description Soupe de Poisson Overview

Soupe de poisson is a traditional fish soup from the Mediterranean coast of France, particularly associated with Provence and the city of Marseille. The soup is made by simmering small local rockfish with onions, tomatoes, garlic, fennel, and herbs, then straining the broth to create a smooth, liquid consistency. It is traditionally served with croutons, grated cheese, and rouille—a garlic and saffron-spiced emulsion similar to mayonnaise, spread on toast. Soupe de poisson differs from the related bouillabaisse in that the broth is strained and the fish pieces are not served whole in the soup.
