Organic Veg & Fish Soup
Organic Veg Fish Soup
"Using fish stock for this soup would be best and this is pretty easy to make at home. Simply gather some fish heads and tails as well as bones from when you clean or sort your your fish out by filleting it, place all (around 1kg altogether) in a pot with 1.2 l water , some salt (not much) and boil for 30 min. Separate the liquid of the fish bones (a pile of bones at this point) with the help of a sieve. All done and ready to use straight away or freeze if needed later. Do not keep for longer than 1 month in the freezer. This soup is super delicious and packed with good vitamins, nutrients as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. Oh, the taste…… I can’t express. Oh! I can just eat this all day everyday."
NotesYou could use other types of fish but I prefer salmon because it has a nice color, a really nice taste and has its own Omega 3 fatty acids. If you wish to use a white fish that is not so oily, you may want to add some olive oil. For the salmon I feel there is no need to add any extra oil at all. It will only spoil the dish. Also if you did have a fish head to add it to the cooking, you may want to remove this gently when soup finished cooking, or just before serving it.

Add the cauliflower, the Romanesco cauliflower all made into small florets and the peas and the asparagus all at the end along with the fish fillets and continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes. Take it off the heat. Grind some good old black pepper, cover and let it rest for a short while.

When serving, add some fresh chilies or grind some more pepper in. You can also try and squeeze some lemon juice in if you want your soup to be a little more sour.
