Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb striped bass fillets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the striped bass fillets under cold water, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Add the chopped tomatoes and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the fish stock and white wine. Add the bay leaves, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Gently add the striped bass pieces to the pot. Simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.
