This was really great, a sophisticated and flavorful broth but easy to prepare. Made to recipe except used fresh thyme, used Atlantic cod, and took the suggestion to include 1/2 lb sea scallops. Served with garlic ciabbata rolls and CL's Autumn Apple & Spinach Salad. Excellent.11/21/08

This is a lovely recipe. I added a little extra red pepper to spice it up, and a bit of fresh thyme with the onions and butter at the end. I served it with rosemary garlic bread and a salad.05/22/07
