Fish Soup with Lemon and Dill

This soup is an absolute winner in our household. In fact, lately, it has even surpassed classic chicken soup for F. Years ago, I used to proudly call it “halászlé” (Hungarian Fisherman’s Soup). I have a sweet memory from when F. was little. He woke up grumpy from his afternoon nap, I placed this soup in front of him, and he asked:
– What kind of soup is this?
– Halászlé – I replied (which literally translates to “Fisherman’s Broth”).
– And where is the fisherman in it?
