I have been food conscious all of my adult life; in the last ten years I became organic food conscious for health reasons; avoiding toxins, hormones and antibiotics. I became vegan for a full year to reconstitute my health; and I am now a Vegetarian-Flexitarian. I make soups out of filter water and organic ingredients; garlic, lemon grass, herbs, tomato paste, ginger, turmeric, onion, and any vegetables I have in my fridge; but I cane across fish heads at the fish market. Price was very reasonable and they had lots of them, so I started that day making fish stock; by the way I only use wild caught fish, even though our oceans might be affected by the nuclear accident in Japan but one can do so much.
Here is a quick fish broth and soup recipe; for a nice easy meal.
This broth cooks in about one hour; once all vegetables are soft and the fish comes apart, it is ready to be passed through a sift to leave only the clear broth; it is then ready to use as a base for soup.
There are many ingredient combinations you can do, depending on either a plan, or whatever vegetables you have in the refrigerator. The flavor of the broth is subtle, not fishy, which makes it very appealing.
I have used kale and potato combined with fresh vegetables; onion, carrots, celery, squash and to this I have added freshly made pasta or spinach gnocchi. every soup I've made with this broth has been stupendous.
