  I loved this. My husband thought it wasnice but "too rich" so next time I'll make it without the extra drizzle of cream to serve as I think that's what made him think it was too rich.

  Absolutely delicious! I added a little bit extra of the fish stock than it was in the recipe because of the previous comment, but the soup came out just perfect, it had the right consistency. The doubloe cream did not make the soup thicker. I had my daughter's partner at dinner who does not eat soups at all, but after he dunked a piece of focaccia - he decided to go ahead with the soup - and finished it all! The soup has such a lovely smell - it is appropriate for special occasions. I will NOT wait for a special occasion - I will make it again - pretty soon...
