Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare this ahead?

Fish and vegetables can be prepared ahead; simmer the soup gently when you are ready to serve.

How long does it keep?

Leftovers keep in the fridge for 1–2 days – do not boil hard or the fish turns tough.

Can I substitute ingredients?

Crème fraîche works instead of cream for a slightly tangier note.
