Great fish soup recipe!

My father always requested fish soup.y mother didn't like making it and she and I never ate it. She would make a separate meal for her and I. So when I saw this recipe I was very disinterested, then I read the ingredients and decided to give it a try. It's delicious and even better with a crusty bread to dip into it. I scaled it down, it normally makes 6-8 servings. Way to much for the two of us.
