Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, diced ripe tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or fish stock
- 3 fillets (about 1 pound total), cut into bite-sized pieces sole fillets
- 2 cups, roughly chopped watercress
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to break down and release their juices.
Pour in the chicken or fish stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Carefully add the bite-sized pieces of sole fillet to the simmering soup and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
Stir in the chopped watercress and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the lemon juice for a bright finish.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of watercress or a wedge of lemon.
