Fish Stew Soup
A light Italian fish stew built on white fish fillet simmered in a tomato-fennel broth with garlic, white wine, and a touch of chili. Skips heavy cream and excess oil, keeping the broth clean and brothy rather than rich, finished with parsley and served with a small piece of toasted bread.

Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the white fish fillet into 2-inch chunks and pat dry. Thinly slice the garlic and fennel, then set aside.
2
Heat
Warm 1 tsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add garlic and fennel, stirring often, until fennel softens and turns translucent without browning, about 4 minutes.
3
Heat
Pour the dry white wine into the saucepan and raise heat to medium-high, scraping the base and bubbling for 2 minutes until the alcohol smell fades. Stir in canned tomatoes, fish stock, and dried chili flakes, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes until broth thickens slightly.
4
Heat
Nestle the fish chunks into the broth, cover, and poach over low heat for 5 minutes until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily. Season with salt and black pepper, stir in the chopped parsley, then toast the sourdough slice until golden and plate immediately alongside the stew.
5
Plate
Ladle the stew into a bowl and serve with the toasted sourdough slice alongside.
