Presentation:

The Ghent Waterzooï is simply served in a soup plate and eaten with a spoon.
It’s sometimes accompanied with some bread, a good blond beer or a glass of
Chardonnay served as a drink.

Recipe variants:

Other local variants of the “Ghent Waterzooï” exist as those of Leuven with veal or of
Brussels with rabbit. According to recipes the ingredients vary and the consistency of
the soup too, but their common feature is the mixture of fishes, chicken, veal or
rabbit with vegetables such as celery and carrot, and then the addition of fresh
cream. Instead of potatoes, the Waterzooï can also be tasted with toasts or rice.

Here are some examples of Waterzooï variants:
