Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 1 large potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound cod fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lemon lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the cubed potato, diced zucchini, and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable stock and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Gently add the cod fillet pieces to the soup. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
