This fancy-sounding stew comes from the coastal city of Marseille in France. It sets itself apart by bringing out classic Mediterranean flavors. If you would like to indulge in the most authentic version, ensure it has a mix of four different types of seafood.

The soup includes saffron, olive oil, fennel, garlic, and tomatoes blended with different types of fish, including monkfish and crab. It is then slow-cooked on a low flame for hours to infuse the flavors. A taste of this soup will leave you begging for more.

Cold soup, anyone? If you’re a lover of cold soup, Gazpacho is your next go-to. Originating from Andalusia’s southern coast in Spain, the soup was served cold, intended to cool people down after a hot summer day.

Also, not only is Gazpacho healthy but also super delicious. It has a blend of tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, and olive oil. A bonus, the soup also has a handful of breadcrumbs for added texture. Do yourself a favor and have this instead of ice cream on a hot day.
