This creamy soup is typically made with a variety of fish and shellfish, along with vegetables and herbs. Here’s a simple recipe to help you create this delicious dish at home.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 leek, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 400-500 grams (14-18 oz) mixed fish (such as cod, salmon, and haddock), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 200 grams (7 oz) shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, sliced leek, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add Potatoes and Stock: Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the fish stock or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Incorporate Cream and Milk: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the heavy cream and milk to the pot. Stir well and let the soup heat through, but do not let it boil.
- Add Fish and Shrimp: Gently add the mixed fish pieces and shrimp (if using) to the soup. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
