This is very old recipe from Dalmatia. The difference between regions in Dalmatia is that some put vegetables in a soup same not. I’m going to give you the simplest recipe, ingredients “sine qua non” as old Romans would have said. Using water you’ve cooked fish you can make nice soup. Just add cooked rice, olive oil and fresh parsley, filter the soup and you have it – nice and tasty.
