Books & Spoons Recipe for CREAMY FISH SOUP

It's hot, lovely, summertime here in Norway, and it means lots of soups, light lunches,  cooking outside on the grill, and fruit for dinner, because the heat took my appetite. 
Fish soup takes me right back to my childhood, and to my momma's kitchen. I have talked about her being my inspiration before, and the foundation she gave, that is priceless. 
This fish soup is my own twist of everything I learned from others. I know there are as many recipes for fish soup, as there are kitchens and cooks in the world. But they all have some things in common, and that is great, fresh products. 



I love my fish soup chunky, like  a thick chowder. Carefully using a thickening agent, Crème fraîche with, or instead, of cream, and as I did, a little bit of everything, and a drizzle of Parmesan, to give deeper, more layered taste, can all give the results of a lovely, tasty, hearty fish soup. 
Adding fresh shellfish on top of the fish soup is very popular around here, but remember to take consideration any and all allergies of the eaters.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Till next time, 
~ Cheers
