Classic Bouillabaisse from Marseille

Bouillabaisse is a traditional French fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille. This hearty and flavorful soup is a staple of Provençal cuisine, typically made with a variety of fish and shellfish, vegetables, and aromatics. The dish is often served in two parts: the broth is served first, followed by the fish and vegetables. This recipe is a classic interpretation of the original, featuring a rich and flavorful broth, tender fish, and a medley of colorful vegetables.
