Bean soup with fish

For us, the combination of fish with beans is rather unusual, but for the inhabitants of Tuscany, who are big fans of bean soups, this is absolutely normal. This recipe has remained in popular memory since the Middle Ages, when Catholics were forbidden to eat meat on Fridays. Of course, in those days, it was unlikely that crispy bread was prepared; most likely, a stale slice was simply added to the dish to soften. But with crunchy crumbs it turns out very tasty.
