Umbrian Fish Soup

This authentic Umbrian fish soup is a beautiful example of Italian lakeside cooking, traditionally made with fresh catches from the region’s rivers and lakes. It is a wonderfully heart-healthy dish that relies on the clean flavours of white wine, aromatic parsley and high-quality extra-virgin olive oil. The light, tomato-based broth provides a sophisticated backdrop for tender white fish, creating a meal that is both comforting and nutritious.

Ideal for a light weekend lunch or a healthy midweek dinner, this versatile stew is perfect for those seeking Mediterranean-style wellness. Serve it in deep bowls with its crunchy, garlic-rubbed baguette slices to soak up the fragrant juices. For the best result, use a crisp Italian white wine and finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley to brighten the final dish.

How to make Umbrian Fish Soup

Pat fish dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Cook onion, celery, and garlic in oil with 1/2 teaspoons salt in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add parsley and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, water, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Add fish and reduce heat to cook at a bare simmer until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Preheat grill.

Cut 18 (1/2-inch) slices from baguette and toast 3 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes total.

Cut garlic clove in half and rub on toasts, then brush toasts with oil. Serve with soup
