Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering soup. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The residual heat will continue to cook the fish, so remove from heat just as it becomes opaque. - 7
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle heat. - 8
