Healthy, because
French fish soup is actually a rather simple dish, but its good ingredients are convincing: seawater fish is not only an excellent source of protein, but also provides more iodine than freshwater fish. iodine is an important component of thyroid hormones and is involved in energy metabolism.
Even smarter
You can refine the fish soup with finely chopped fennel - simply sauté it together with onion and garlic until transparent. And what tastes good with the French fish soup? A rustic baguette is a great choice and can be dipped in the sauce.
