About

The old name for this soup is sopa Cachorreña - Seville orange soup - and it is good served post-Christmas, when bitter Seville oranges are in season. It has a beautiful orange colour. The fish used is normally small hake, but any white fish is suitable.

Method

Fillet the fish and cut each fillet into three, reserving all the trimmings. Put the fillets on a plate, salt lightly and chill. Put the trimmings in a pan, add the water and a spiral of orange rind. Bring to a simmer, skim, then cover and cook gently for 30 minutes.
