{{ :recipes:soupe_de_poissons_de_roches.jpg?200|}} ====== Soupe de Poissons de Roches ====== /* Description */ Literally, rock fish soup. This soup is made out of the trash fish caught among the rocks. We bought a couple of kilograms at the market, where it was labeled "Soupe de Roches." Included were lots of small fish and a few crabs, an octopus or two, etc. Just a bunch of junk fish. I was highly suspicious of this as we made it and I had to force myself to taste it. It was transcendent. It tasted like the finest lobster bisque or something just as fancy. I've made it at home a few times and I just go to a local Asian market and buy a variety of small cheap fish with a couple of little crabs and an octopus if available. Beware that the directions seem crazy, such as cooking the whole, uncleaned fish, but it all works in the end. Really. If you like seafood, you'll adore this. {(rater>id=100|name=recipes:soupe_d_poissons_de_roches|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 4-5 servings|| |**Prep:** 1:00|**Wait:** 0:00|**Cook:** 0:45| ====== Ingredients ====== **Soup** * 2.5 lbs or small, cheap fish (a mixture of small saltwater fish, along with a small crab, octopus, shrimp, crayfish, etc for additional flavor, if available.) * 5 Tbsp Olive Oil * 2 Onions, sliced * 2 Tomatoes, chopped * 2 cloves Garlic, crushed and minced (or pressed) * 1 branch Dill * 1 branch Thyme * 3 Bay Leaves * pinch Cayenne * pinch Saffron (for color) **Croutons** * 1 Baguette, sliced thinly * Garlic cloves, cut in half * Emmental (Swiss or Jarlsburg) Cheese **[[Rouille]]** {{section>Rouille#Ingredients&noheader&nofooter&noeditbutton}} ====== Directions ====== **Soup** - In a large dutch oven, simmer the onion in the olive oil until translucent.

Leave the lid cracked a bit and cover with a kitchen towel. Don't overfill - process small batches. * The included picture makes the soup look pretty yellow, but as I recall, the soup is a nice cream color. /* Nutrition block - remove the slash-asterisk and asterisk-slash from just above and below the following block */ /* ====== Nutrition ====== |Calories (kcal): |Fat Calories (kcal): |Cholesterol (mg): |[[recipes:notes:nutrition guidelines |(Guide)]] | |Fat (g): |Saturated Fat (g): |Mono Fat (g): |Poly Fat (g): | |Protein (g): |Carbohydrates (g): |Sodium (mg): |Fiber (g): | */ {{tag>Recipes 5★ Soup European/French Arles}} /* Recipe Tags - Copy and paste tags from the list below to the tag list in the above line, replacing the "TagsNeeded" tag and separated by spaces. */ /* ---Recipe Types--- Appetizer Beverage Beverage/Cocktail Beverage/Liquor-Mixer Bread Bread/Biscuit-Roll Bread/Muffin Bread/Quickbread Brines-Marinades-Rubs Breakfast Casserole Canning-Freezing Condiment Dessert Dessert/Bar-Brownie Dessert/Cake Dessert/Cake/Frosting Dessert/Candy-Chocolate Dessert/Crisp-Buckle Dessert/Cookie Dessert/Custard-Curd Dessert/IceCream-Ice Dessert/Pie Dessert/Pie/Crust Dessert/Topping Dip-Spread Entertaining Fondue Grilling-BBQ Grilling-BBQ/BBQSauce Holiday Ingredient-Seasoning Kid-Friendly MainDish MainDish/Beef MainDish/Poultry MainDish/Pork MainDish/Seafood Pasta-Rice Pizza Roast Salad Salad/Dressing Sandwich Sauce-Gravy Sausage-Pate Side SlowCooker-Crockpot Snack Soup European/French Stew-Braise Stir-Fry Vegetarian ---Recipe Cuisines--- American American/Cajun-Creole American/Southern American/TexMex Asian Asian/Chinese Asian/Indian Asian/Japanese Asian/Korean Asian/Thai Asian/Vietnamese European European/Belgian European/Czech European/Dutch European/English European/French European/German European/Greek European/Polish European/Irish European/Italian European/Portuguese European/Russian European/Scandinavian European/Spanish European/Swiss Latin Latin/Brazilian Latin/Mexican MiddleEastern MiddleEastern/Ethiopian MiddleEastern/Jewish MiddleEastern/Lebanese ---Recipe Sources--- 365Recipes 365Recipes/Grilling 365Recipes/Chicken 365Recipes/Pasta AmericasTestKitchen AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry AmericasTestKitchen/CooksIllustrated BetterHomesGarden BonAppetit Chowhound FineCooking FoodWine GoodEats Gourmet Jennivines MilkStreet HDawson LMaidment TMaidment AMarcos DMarcos JMarcos KMarcos JPhalen DPendergast ---Recipe Ratings--- 5★ Soup European/French 4★ 3★ 2★ 1★ No★ ---Recipe Alerts--- RecipeNeeded RecipeIncomplete RecipeWrong RecipeFails TagsNeeded */ ~~DISCUSSION~~
