Ingredients

For the Soup Base

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fish: Cut the grouper into small cubes, saving the heads and large bones for stock.

  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a deep skillet, combine the fish heads and bones, chopped green peppers, and onions, cooking until the mixture is tender.

🔥 Pro Tip: Sautéing the vegetables first brings out their natural sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the soup!

  1. Season and Simmer: Add the bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, and any additional spices to the skillet. Cook for about 10 more minutes to meld the flavors.

  2. Build Your Chowder: Gradually add the stock until the mixture reaches a chowder-like consistency, then gently place the cubed fish on top.

  3. Master the Simmer: Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes without boiling, being careful not to stir. This ensures the fish stays tender and intact.

  4. Finish with Flour and Milk: Bring the soup to a gentle boil. If desired, thicken with flour and add a splash of milk to achieve a creamy texture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: When the fish is fully cooked, gently mix everything together and serve in warm soup bowls. Don’t forget the French bread for dipping!

🌟 Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of flavor and presentation!
