One of my favorite ways to cook fish and absorb all of its great health benefits for the heart, respiratory, and digestive systems is in soup. And with white carp being incredibly rich in minerals and vitamins as well as delicious in taste I decided to pair it with tomato sauce, red wine, and light spices as a Mediterranean-style soup.

This is a quick and easy recipe that does not require ingredients that would be difficult to find – I highly recommend to give this one a try!
