This was really light and tasty. Didn't really scream Moroccan, but could be a great meal all by itself.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

If you want something light, healthy, and flavorful, this is great. The swordfish was perfect for it as it was meaty enough to hold up in the broth and didn't taste fishy.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

The best thing about this soup is the lack of a true fishy taste. The base is salty enough, especially with the added vegetables and the onions to really give a nice flavor. The swordfish is a great addition, especially because it cooks up tender and thick while the soup is warming up. You could even substitute another thick fish if desired. Great starter dish!I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
