Tips/Hints:

This is a recipe I have made on and off for quite some time.  I have converted it for my Thermo Chef, so where it says add butterfly, just use your reverse function and maybe boost the temp by 10 degrees.  It is the most delicious, non fishy smelling soup with a gentle taste of fish.  You could also add prawns if you wish.

Well you'll like this one then.  I don't like fish soup, can't usually get my nose around it, but this is gorgeous and not strong smelling at all

We don't use dessert spoons in Canada as a measure.  Can you tell me how many MLs a dessert spoon contains?  This soup looks delicious and I would like to make it.  If it equates to an Australain tablespoon that would be about 20 mls, is that correct?  Thank you.

PS - What is the buttercream fat percentage in pure cream?

Elsie a dessertspoon is less than a tablespoon, a dessertspoon= 10mls.

Hi Elsie, your dessertspoon query has been answered already.  As for the cream, it doesn't really matter.  I use light cream most of the time, but it is extra nice (although not real good for you) if you use full fat cream.

I made this today for the first time in the Thermie.  As I said in my post, I have been making it for a long time in a saucepan, but had just converted it to the thermie.  I worked a treat, but I have amended my recipe as there was a bit too much in the jug.  The recipe as it reads now is correct.
