Ingredients
1 lb firm white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or snapper), cut into bite-sized chunks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped spinach or kale (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
Gently slide the fish chunks (and greens, if using) into the broth.
Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, though best enjoyed fresh. You can add seared chicken strips for extra protein.
