Equipment

  • Enamored Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Ideal for slow cooking soups like fish soup, ensuring even heat distribution and a traditional touch.

  • Large Chef's Knife - Essential for preparing the ingredients efficiently, whether chopping vegetables or deboning small fish pieces.

  • Cutting Board - Provides a clean surface to chop herbs and prep your ingredients safely and hygienically.

  • Stainless Steel Pot - A versatile option for cooking the soup, with good heat conductivity and ease of use on stovetops or ovens.

  • Immersion Blender - Handy for pureeing any vegetables or fish directly in the pot without transferring to another container.

  • Slotted Spoon - Useful for removing bones from the soup, ensuring that you can skim off impurities if needed.

  • Mesh Strainer - For straining out solids after cooking, maintaining a smooth texture in your final dish.

  • Measuring Cup and Spoons - Essential for accurately measuring ingredients to ensure the perfect balance of flavors.

  • Food Storage Containers (Airtight) - Perfect for storing leftovers, keeping them fresh as long as possible.

  • Kitchen Scale - Useful for precise measurements when necessary, though most soup recipes are not heavily reliant on weight.
