A fragrant ginger-based broth with saffron, rosemary, and peppers—welcoming optional fish or meat
Intro:
There are evenings when the air feels quiet. It is almost reverent. A bowl of soup speaks more than a thousand words. This is that soup. It is a golden broth kissed with saffron. It is sparked with peppers and grounded by ginger. The soup is stirred with rosemary’s herbal soul.
You can finish it with flaked white fish. You can also use delicate poached chicken. Alternatively, simply let the vegetables shine. This soup is a seasonal comfort. It is flavorful, warming, and boldly simple.
