Tomato Seafood Soup image

We love this hefty soup on Sundays during football season. For a little extra zip to rally spirits, we sometimes add red pepper flakes or use jalapeno-flavored tomatoes. It's also delicious with real crab meat. -Mary Adams, Fairport, New York

EASY FISH STEW WITH MEDITERRANEAN FLAVORS



Easy Fish Stew With Mediterranean Flavors image

This is a typical fisherman's stew. No need to make a fish stock; water, aromatics and anchovies will suffice. Use anchovies even if you don't like them, as they add great depth of flavor, not to mention omega-3 fats. And don't worry: the dish won't taste like anchovies.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large garlic cloves, cut in half, green shoots removed
4 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for 4 minutes, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
1 quart water
1 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered or sliced
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a strip of orange zest, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a dried red chile if desired, tied together with a string
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 1 1/2 pounds firm white-fleshed fish such as halibut, tilapia, Pacific cod or black cod, cut in 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place the garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy fillets and mash with the garlic. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, and add the onion, celery and carrot with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender, about five minutes. Add the pureed garlic and anchovy. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, about one minute, and then add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the water, potatoes, salt (to taste) and the bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low, cover partially and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper, and stir into the soup. The soup should not be boiling. Simmer five to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets) or just until it flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, taste once more, adjust seasonings and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: For a flavorful and succulent fish soup, select firm-fleshed fish that can withstand the cooking process without falling apart. Good options include cod, halibut, salmon, or tilapia.
  • Fresh Ingredients Make a Difference: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the base of your soup. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor. If using canned tomatoes, choose high-quality brands with no added salt or preservatives.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Add the fish last and simmer gently until just cooked through. Overcooked fish will become tough and dry.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Add a variety of vegetables to your soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers are all great options. You can also add leafy greens like kale or spinach at the end of cooking.
  • Season to Taste: Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking. A squeeze of lemon juice can also brighten up the flavors.
