Not a fan of fish soups. Having said that. I absolutely LOVE this one. It’s because it is not too fishy for my taste. I used sea bream because this is what I usually have in the freezer. Salmon or cod are also very good choices.
It is lemony, packed with vegetables and a mild creaminess from the corn and the milk. You can, of course improvise and use different veggies, like green beans or broccoli. You can also replace the rice with potatoes. Make sure you dice them so that they cook easily.
I also added dill, which I love, but of you don’t, replace with some other herby green like parsley, spring onions or chives. Enjoy. You will!

Fantastic, easy fish soup
Lovely, creamy, lemony fish soup to warm your heart. I make this recipe with lots of veggies and I love it. Improvise with whatever your heart desires. Make sure you use an oily fish like cod, salmon or sea bream.
