Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or hake)
- 2 pieces large potatoes
- 3 pieces cloves of garlic
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 liters water or fish stock
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Add the water or fish stock to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the potatoes cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, cut the white fish into large chunks, ensuring there are no bones.
Once the potatoes are tender, add the fish chunks to the soup. Let them cook gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Remove the bay leaves and discard them.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
