My One-off Friday Soup

I always cook a soup on Fridays and always a different one, as I prepare it with any vegetables left over in the fridge. I enjoy the feeling of inventing a dish with just what I have, without wasting anything. No recipes on Fridays, just the pleasure of cooking what I like. 

Zuppa di pesce a modo mio – My Fish Soup

On Saturdays, I buy my fish from a stall in the farmers' market, where I enjoy going early in the morning in order to get the best choice. Yesterday the fish looked wonderful so I decided to make a fish soup, a simple and quick one with a mixed of firm-flesh fishes plus few prawns. I picked up a wild sea bream and two mullets the fishmonger cleaned for me and I kept the bones and the heads for the stock.
