Hearty Homemade Fish Soup

(Incredible Easy and Quick)

Fish soup is made with tender pieces of fish simmered in a flavorful broth with vegetables and herbs. I created this homemade fish soup and threw together the most simplest ingredients everyone has at home. It is perfect for chilly days, easy weeknight dinners, or whenever you want a wholesome meal that comes together very quickly you will be surprised.

One of the best things about fish soup is how versatile it is. You can put anything you like in a soup and it will always turn out delicious. Whether you use cod, haddock, salmon, or another firm white fish.

• Healthy and nourishing: Fish provides lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and important nutrients, while the vegetables add fiber and vitamins.
• It’s versatile: You can use different kind of fish, add other seafood like shrimp or mussels, or adjust the vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
• It’s comforting: The warm broth tender fish, and hearty vegetables make every spoonful satisfying and cozy.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 Tbsp of cheez whiz melted cheese
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

• Make the rice: Start by cooking the rice in a small pot according to package instructions. And set aside.
• Saute the green onions: Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning.

• Add the Vegetables & Broth: Next, add the frozen mixed vegetables to the pot along with 4 cups of water or chicken broth for more flavor. Add 2 Tbsp of chicken soup mix. (Reduce to 1 tbsp if using chicken broth).
• Add Seasonings: Season soup with salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried parsley, bay leaf, and cheez whiz melted cheese. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Season and add the fish: Season fish with smoked paprika, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Cut into bite-size chunks and add to the pot. Let the soup simmer gently for 5-7 minutes. Fish cooks quickly, so avoid boiling the soup vigorously. When the fish is ready, it will easily flake with a fork.

• Add the rice to the soup: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or melted cheese. Add the cooked rice to the soup and serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

What to Serve with Fish Soup:

Fish soup pairs beautifully with simple sides that soak up the flavorful broth:

Storage and Reheating:

• Fish soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, warm the soup gently on the stovetop over low heat. Avoid boiling, as this can make the fish tough.
• Fish soup does not freeze well because the fish can become grainy after thawing.
