Just made this recipe, very tasty. I omitted the onion and pepper flakes. Broth was outstanding and I really liked the fish and tomatoes. Next time I'm planning on not boiling the potatoes and put in some ramen noodles at the end. I think it'll make it a little bit more filling, and I just wasn't digging the potatoes.

This recipe is fabulous! My husband and I were watching Martha's cooking class on PBS and she featured this dish. My husband asked me to try it. It is wonderful, rich and complex in flavor and very satisfying. Do NOT omit the red pepper flakes, it gives it a depth of flavor, but it is not spicy. I have used regular yukon gold or fingerling potatoes instead of the blue potatoes that are sometimes hard to find. Serve with a nice salad and hot bread, YUM..........

I didn't have anything on hand but canned tomatoes, dried basil, white onion, and chicken bouillon cubes, but it was still really, really delicious. I saved the broth for soup it was so good!
