Ingredients
1 lb firm white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or snapper), cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups low-sodium fish or vegetable stock
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and vegetables have softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the potato cubes, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Gently slide the fish chunks into the pot, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
You can swap the fish for other firm seafood like shrimp or scallops. For extra depth, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens the broth significantly. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently to keep the fish intact.
