Replace the simple wather by the whater where you have cooked fish(just boiled). The bread has to be hard bread. You will see how the result improuves
It's difficult to get hard bread in the UK, Maria Helena. The reason for that is that bread is usually so poor in quality that, unless you bake your own, it'll be hard to get a decent one to cook this soup. :)
I'll try to use the fish water next time. Thanks!
