Fish soup is a warm food made by combining fish or seafood with vegetables and stock, juice, water, or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth. Ingredients and methods of preparation vary widely, depending on local availability and cultural traditions. Popular varieties of fish soup include bouillabaisse, chowder, bisque, and cioppino.
