Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Peel the carrots and chop all the vegetables into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
2

Add the vegetables to a skillet with olive oil.
3

Meanwhile, peel the shrimp, separating the shells from the bodies (don’t throw the shells away).
4

Place the shrimp shells and bodies in a pot with 8 1/2 cups water (2 liters) and bring to a boil.
5

While the broth cooks, remove the skin and bones from the hake. Chop the hake with parsley and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
6

Form small balls from the hake mixture to make meatballs.
7

Set the cooked vegetables aside in a bowl. In the same skillet with the remaining oil, sear the hake meatballs until lightly browned.
8

Return to the pot and strain the broth, removing the shells and reserving the shrimp bodies.
9

Add the vegetables, shrimp, and meatballs to the broth. Season with salt and add the food coloring.
10

Let the soup reduce a bit, then add the noodles. Adjust salt if needed and enjoy!
