Fish soup is a comforting and nutritious dish that can be made in various ways, depending on the type of fish and the flavors you want to incorporate. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a basic fish soup, but feel free to customize it based on your preferences!
Basic Fish Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) fish fillets (white fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia work well)
1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 bay leaf
4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
1 cup water (if necessary)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (like parsley, thyme, or dill) for garnish
Optional: 1/2 cup cream or coconut milk for a creamy texture
Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice or zest for brightness
Instructions:
Prepare the fish: Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Cook the vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the stock: Pour in the fish stock (or vegetable broth) and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the fish: Gently add the fish pieces to the pot and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as the fish will break apart easily.
Season: Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if desired). If you prefer a creamy texture, stir in the cream or coconut milk at this point.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Serve with crusty bread on the side.
