La Belle Iloise – Breton Fish Soup – 400g

The La Belle Iloise Fish Soup is the classic among Breton fish soups. Fish (a full 37%) is first sautéed with tomato paste, mustard, and spices, then deglazed with water and simmered down to a rich, reddish-brown Soupe de Poissons. For the French, La Belle-Iloise fish soup is traditional home cooking, often enjoyed with crispy croutons and a spoonful of saffron aioli (rouille) as well as grated cheese. Bon Appétit.

Simply heat in a pot, do not boil, and serve with bread. La Belle Iloise recommends extending the soup with a good half (2/3) can of water. Of course, the soup can be refined with fresh fish, vegetables, or small potato cubes. But even enjoyed pure, it is a delight full of flavors: fish, tomatoes, bell peppers, herbs, a hint of garlic, chili, and cumin.

La Belle Iloise – Fish Soup from Quiberon

La Belle Iloise is a family business on the Breton Atlantic coast in northern France. Founded in 1932 by Georges Hilliet not far from the fishing port of Quiberon, freshly caught fish of high quality have been traditionally cleaned, deboned, and finally canned by nimble hands for more than 85 years. Here, the traditional craft of the "Conserverie," the production of canned fish, is passed down from generation to generation and thus preserved. After all, canning is a really good way to preserve fish, such as sardines, tuna, mackerel, and lobster, without preservatives or artificial additives, while maintaining high quality.

Today, the founder's granddaughter, Caroline Hilliet Le Branchou, manages La Belle Iloise, which employs between 400-800 people depending on the season. She continues to lead it with the same philosophy and love for good products, without sacrificing innovation, thus developing new, creative products. The many recipes make La Belle Iloise unique, whether with high-quality cold-pressed olive oil, with lemon, green pepper, olive tapenade, Bayonne ham, or in Muscadet wine, all are a delicacy and a visual joy in their beautiful, nostalgic cans.
