Calories: 250kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g mixed fish fillets e.g., cod, haddock, cut into chunks
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 zucchini sliced
- 1 liter fish stock
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
- Add the zucchini, oregano, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors of the spices.
- Add the tomatoes, pour in fish stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
- Add the pieces of white fish to the simmering soup and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and begins to flake easily. Adjust with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Stir in the freshly chopped parsley.
- Ladle the Mediterranean Fish Soup into bowls and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
