Description
This delicious fish soup is very easy to prepare using canned fish, such as canned mackerel. You can add the mackerel to the soup in whole pieces, as it was packed in the can, or shred the fish to your liking. The mackerel soup turns out very tasty when cooked with rice. This simple soup cooks very quickly, so a can of mackerel from your pantry will come in handy when you need to whip up something for lunch. The soup will taste even better if you add a small piece of butter to the bowl when serving.
