Cod, Potato and Dill Fish Soup

A delicious, quick-cook fish soup packed with potatoes, carrots and peppers, and flavoured with leeks, dill and lemon. This soup makes a lovely weeknight meal or hearty lunch. Enjoy with some crispy baguette on the side to bulk it out a little and dunk away.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

If you have been delivered frozen fish, defrost it thoroughly before cooking.

Step 2

Peel and chop the onion. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm cubes. Chop the carrot into cubes. Finely slice the leek. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5-7 mins until beginning to soften. Mix in the garlic, potatoes, carrots, peppers, leeks and tomato purée, and cook for 3-5 mins more. Pour in the stock and stir in the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 mins until the veg is almost tender.

Step 3

Finely chop most of the dill, reserving a few whole sprigs. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper and a bit of the lemon juice. Add the fish to the soup along with a pinch of the lemon zest and the chopped dill. Simmer gently over a low heat for 5-7 mins until the fish is cooked through. Remove the bay leaf and season the soup to taste, adding more lemon juice or zest, if needed. Scatter over the reserved dill sprigs to serve with a crispy baguette, if you like.
