Ingredients

• 1 lb striped bass fillets
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the striped bass fillets under cold water, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the fish stock and white wine. Add the bay leaves, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Gently add the striped bass pieces to the pot. Simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.
