Ingredients

• 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or hake)
• 2 pieces large potatoes
• 3 pieces cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 liters water or fish stock
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the water or fish stock to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Add the potato cubes to the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the potatoes cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

While the potatoes are cooking, cut the white fish into large chunks, ensuring there are no bones.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are tender, add the fish chunks to the soup. Let them cook gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaves and discard them.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
