  • Start by cleaning the fish, removing the gills and innards. Separate out the fillets and set them aside for now. Put the head, bones, and spine in a pot, salt them, and cook for 20 minutes. When the broth is ready, strain it so no bones remain. Cut the zucchini into half-moons. Seed and clean the chili and slice it into small rings (I really recommend removing the seeds). Finely chop the onion. In a separate pot, lightly sauté the onion, zucchini, and fillet pieces in olive oil. Add the chili, pour in the wine, and let it cook down. Blanch the tomato in boiling water, peel it carefully, slice it, and add it to the pot with everything else. Pour in the broth and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. The soup is nearly done — all that's left is to chop the fresh herbs and sprinkle them into each bowl.
