About Caldillo de Congrio
Mauricio Navia Catalán’s caldillo de congrio is a Chilean fish soup built on broth made from the fish’s head. Thick slices of congrio cook with potatoes, onion, carrot and red pepper.
White wine, garlic, oregano and ají de color season the broth. Celery and parsley join the vegetables, giving the soup an aromatic green element alongside the fish.
The congrio slices retain their skin and bones in this rendition. The caldillo is served hot, with finely chopped parsley scattered over the fish, vegetables and broth.
