Alright, let’s gather our goodies! Trust me, using fresh ingredients makes ALL the difference in this White-Fish-Soup. Don’t worry, everything’s pretty easy to find at your local grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:
Dairy and Base
40g or 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Make sure it’s unsalted, okay? We wanna control the saltiness ourselves!
2 minced garlic cloves
Gotta have that garlic kick! Minced is the way to go here.
1 small finely chopped onion
Finely chopped is key so it kinda melts into the soup. YUM.
2 small carrots, halved, cut into 0.5cm or 1/5 inch slices
Yep, we’re getting fancy with the slice size! Just about that size – no need to be perfect.
1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine
A splash of dry white wine adds a lil’ somethin’ somethin’.
1/4 cup (35g) plain or all purpose flour
This helps thicken things up perfectly. Plain is best!
3 cups (750 ml) milk
Any milk you like! I usually use whole milk for extra richness.
2 cups (500 ml) fish stock, clam juice OR chicken stock, preferably low sodium
Fish stock is awesome, but clam juice or even low sodium chicken stock works great too!
Vegetables and Seasoning
2 cups potato, 1.5 cm or 0.5 inch cubes (about 1 large potato)
Cubed potatoes make it extra hearty. About that size is perfect!
1 cup corn, frozen or canned (drained)
Frozen or canned, whatever you have on hand! Just drain it if it’s canned.
0.5 tsp salt, plus more to taste
Start with half a teaspoon, but definitely taste and adjust!
Finely ground black pepper
Freshly ground is always best, if you have it!
1 cup frozen peas
Frozen peas add a pop of sweetness and color. Easy peasy!
The Star: White Fish
600 g or 1.2 lb white fish fillets, skinless, cut into 2cm or 4/5 inch pieces
Skinless is important here, and cut ’em into bite-sized pieces. Cod, haddock, whatever you like!
How to Make Delicious White-Fish-Soup: Step-by-Step Instructions
Okay, listen up! This is where the magic happens. Don’t worry, I promise it’s super easy to make amazing White-Fish-Soup. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a pot of deliciousness in no time! Pay attention to the timing – that’s important – and you’ll get it perfect. This recipe is so easy to follow; you’ll get perfect results every single time!
Building the Base Flavors for White-Fish-Soup
First, we gotta build those yummy flavors that make this soup so good!
Sauté Garlic and Onion
Melt your butter in a big pot. Then, toss in the garlic and onion. Cook ’em for about 5 minutes, until they’re soft and see-through, but not brown. We don’t want burnt garlic!
Add Carrots
Now, in go the carrots! Give ’em a good stir so they get coated in all that buttery goodness.
Deglaze with White Wine
Crank up the heat, pour in the white wine, and stir! Let it bubble away quickly until almost all the wine is gone. This usually takes just a minute or two. It’s gonna smell AMAZING!
Creating the Creamy White-Fish-Soup Broth
Ready to make that broth extra creamy and dreamy?
Add Flour
Sprinkle in the flour and stir it for about 30 seconds. It’s gonna look kinda sludgy – that’s totally normal, don’t panic!
Pour in Broth and Milk
Slowly pour in the fish stock (or whatever stock you’re using), stirring like crazy to get rid of any lumps. Then, stir in the milk. Keep stirring, keep stirring!
Add Potato, Corn, Salt, and Pepper
Toss in the potatoes, corn, salt, and pepper. Bring it all to a simmer (that means little bubbles, not a crazy boil!), then turn the heat down low so it’s just gently simmering.
Finishing Your Flavorful White-Fish-Soup
Almost there! Time for the fish and peas.
Add Fish and Peas
Gently add the fish and peas to the simmering soup. Let it cook for about 3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook the fish, or it’ll get rubbery!
Season to Taste
Give it a taste and add more salt and pepper if you think it needs it. It’s your soup, make it perfect for YOU!
Serve
Ladle that yummy White-Fish-Soup into bowls, garnish with some green onions (if you’re feeling fancy), and serve with a big hunk of crusty bread for dunking. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best White-Fish-Soup
Want to take your White-Fish-Soup from good to *OMG-amazing*? Here are a few little secrets I’ve learned over time:
Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients for the Best White-Fish-Soup
Seriously, this makes a HUGE difference. Fresh veggies just taste brighter, and good-quality fish will flake beautifully. Trust me on this one!
Don’t Overcook the Fish in Your White-Fish-Soup
This is SO important! Overcooked fish is rubbery and sad. You’ll know the fish is done when it’s opaque and flakes easily with a fork. It only takes a few minutes, so keep a close eye on it!
Adjust the Thickness of Your White-Fish-Soup to Your Liking
Like a thinner soup? No problem! Just add a little extra water or milk until it’s the consistency you want. Too thin? Simmer it for a bit longer to let it thicken up, or whisk in a tiny bit of cornstarch mixed with cold water (that’s my little secret!).
White-Fish-Soup Variations
Okay, so you’ve got the basic White-Fish-Soup down? Awesome! Now, let’s get a little crazy and mix things up! Here are some fun ways to customize this recipe and make it your own:
Herb and Spice Variations for White-Fish-Soup
Oh, the possibilities! Try adding some fresh dill for a bright, summery flavor. Or maybe some parsley? Thyme is also amazing, especially if you’re feeling fancy! A bay leaf simmering in the soup adds a subtle depth, too.
Vegetable Variations for White-Fish-Soup
Want to sneak in some extra veggies? Celery and leeks are fantastic additions! Parsnips would add a lovely sweetness. Go wild and experiment!
Adding Different Types of Fish to Your White-Fish-Soup
Cod is classic, but don’t be afraid to try other white fish! Haddock works great, or even pollock. Just make sure it’s skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces, like in the original recipe.
