    How to Make Fish Soup

    • Add oil, garlic, and hot pepper flakes to a large pot and heat over medium heat for about a minute.

    • Fish is naturally salty so add extra salt only at the end of the cooking process if needed.

    Best Fish for This Recipe

    This recipe works very well with a firm white fish like halibut or cod. Snapper and tilapia can also work well. Fish that fall apart easily like sole or tuna are not ideal. Shrimps, scallops, or other seafood makes a tasty addition to this recipe, too.

    Can I Freeze Fish Soup?

    In a freezer-safe container, fish soup can be safely stored for 4 to 6 months.
