Hearty and delicious soup. You can poach cod, haddock, flounder, and salmon. I love to serve this on a cold winter day. For a stew-like consistency, simmer for longer. You can serve the stew over rice if desired.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste

  • ⅓ cup diced onion

  • ⅓ cup diced celery

  • ⅓ cup diced carrot

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs

  • ⅓ cup white wine

  • ⅓ cup lemon juice

  • 1 pound tilapia fillets, or more to taste

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried Italian herbs

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a 5- to 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, tomatoes, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Add tilapia, herbs, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat, cover pot partially, and simmer until tilapia starts to flake, about 10 minutes.

  2. Transfer tilapia to a plate and cover to keep warm. Simmer cooking liquid until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Return tilapia to the pot and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

You can use olive oil or vegetable oil instead of butter.

You need 4 cups liquid. Use chicken broth, vegetable, or water as needed.

Substitute 1/4 to 1/3 chopped fresh parsley, oregano, and/or basil for the dried Italian herbs, if desired.
