Recipe by SLA_Gaia

This recipe is a variant of a spanish soup recipe of my mother based on tomatoes, shrimps and bread. In this case I have used fish and avoid the use of bread to make it lighter. Pollock has been used but other fish such as cod, monkfish, or similar can also be used. Parsley can be substituted with coriander leaves, getting a stronger taste.
