- 4 cups chicken broth (32 fl oz)
- 2 cups water
- 1 lb skinless skate or flounder fillet, halved crosswise if large
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 cup small shell pasta (5 oz)
- 2 cups 1/2-inch broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
- Bring broth and water to a simmer with fish and garlic in a 4-quart heavy pot. Add pasta and simmer until al dente, about 5 minutes (fish will break apart). Add broccoli and simmer (still uncovered) until pasta and broccoli are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and season soup with salt and pepper. Serve soup drizzled with oil.
