Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to lightly caramelize. Add the chopped carrot and cook for about 4 more minutes until tender.
  2. Pour in the fish broth and water, add the diced potatoes, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Cut the fish into cubes and carefully add to the soup. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10–12 minutes until the fish is completely warmed through and the flesh becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
  4. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh finely chopped dill or parsley. Serve hot.
