Soup

Steps

  1. In a pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the diced potato and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Add the white fish fillet to the pot and continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  4. Stir in the cream (or coconut milk) and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Tips for Creamy White Fish and Vegetable Soup

  • The soup should look creamy but remain pourable; the potato may soften the broth slightly as it cooks.
  • Avoid vigorous stirring after adding the fish, which can break the fillet into tiny pieces.
  • For the best texture, serve soon after cooking; prolonged simmering can make the fish dry and the cream less smooth.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked white wine such as Pinot Grigio
Its fresh, light character complements the mild fish and creamy broth without overwhelming the vegetables.

0% option: Chilled sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot, stirring gently.
