Cooking Tips

• If congrio fish is not available, you can substitute it with any firm white fish like cod or haddock.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped chili pepper to the soup.
• To enhance the flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice to the soup before serving.

• Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
