Gazpachuelo – hot fish soup from Málaga

Contains: Fish, Egg, Shellfish

Ingredients for 4 portions

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.
  2. Bring the stock to the boil in a pan, add the potatoes and season with salt.
  3. Simmer over a medium heat for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise: put the egg, a pinch of salt and half the vinegar in the jug of a stick blender. Blend with the blender at the bottom, adding the oil in a thin stream, until thick.
  5. Add the hake and prawns and poach over a low heat for 4–5 minutes, until cooked through. Take the pan off the heat.
  6. Put the mayonnaise in a large bowl and whisk in the hot broth a ladle at a time, so it doesn't split. Pour the mixture back into the pan and stir, without letting the soup boil again.
  7. Season with the rest of the vinegar and salt, and serve straight away.

The cost is estimated from average prices in Spain (MAPA – Panel de Consumo Alimentario en Hogares (Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación), 2026-07).
