How to make Vegetable soup with fish:
- Let’s see the ingredients for this vegetable soup. The good thing about these types of recipes is that you can make them with the ingredients you have at home at that time. You can vary the vegetables, eliminate some, substitute another, and change the quantities… You can also make this soup with fish, with various species, but we recommend that you choose tasty pieces without bones. The bonito has been cleaned well at the fish market, and the monkfish only has the central bone.
- We start by making a sauce with the vegetables. In a large pot, pour a little oil and, when it is hot, add the carrot, onion and celery, all finely chopped.
- After a few minutes we will add the rest of the vegetables, previously washed and chopped. The ideal is to introduce first the vegetables that need more cooking, to add last, for example, the leek or the courgette.
- When the vegetables are already half done, we will add water, about two liters, to make the vegetable broth. It is also time to season to taste and to introduce the bay leaves. Stirring from time to time, we will let it cook for a minimum of 10 minutes, although in this type of recipe, the longer the cooking time, the tastier the broth will be.
- The last step will be to add the fish, which will be ready after a few minutes of cooking. We are interested in being able to consume the vegetable and fish soup with a spoon without worrying about the bones, so the central bone will have to be removed from the monkfish. I put it in the pot with a strainer, so that when it has been cooking for a few minutes, and the bone can be easily removed, I can remove it from the pot, remove the bone and put it back in the soup.
- After a few more minutes of cooking, the monkfish and bonito will be perfectly cooked and will have released their flavors in the vegetable soup.
- You can now serve the soup with fish in a deep dish, with a lot or a little broth, depending on the taste of each diner. If you prefer a vegetable soup with meat, try this meatball soup recipe, you’ll love it!
