@Renée,

Speedy recovery wishes dear ..

I have just recovered from a terribly bad cold flu which I caught from 2 colleagues !

These flus or viruses are so contagious ..

Take care and all my best ..

Thank you, Alexandria. I'm feeling much better this morning. It must have been one of those 24 hour viruses. I do hope that you are recovering well, too. I always think that it's better to have these illnesses now, rather than at Christmas!

I'm all set to make the soup today and will take a photo.

Alexandria, I spent such a happy time this morning preparing all the ingredients and making the soup which was very delicious! I did scale down quite a lot from the original recipe and I have plenty left over for tonight!

@ Renée,

Wow .. Looks amazingly extraordinary ..

Which type of fish did you purchase ?


Pleased too, to hear that you are feeling better ..

Thank you for posting the photo too ..

I used cod, Alexandria. I had to shop at the supermarket, rather than the fish stall on the market, because I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but it worked well. I've just had the last of it tonight, adding a little water and drizzling with more olive oil. I made a few croûtons to put on top. I feel sad that it's all finished!

@ Renée,


Yes, I have made it with fresh cod too .. when I was unable to buy fresh white tuna ..

Next time you could prepare extra for lunch the next day or freeze it ..

Have a lovely evening and all my best wishes ..
