As some of you may know, the Northeast has been having a very wintery winter. Though snow makes bipedal travel extra difficult, I am really enjoying it. We haven't had a real winter in a few years, so perhaps its just the change of pace that is making it so fun. Regardless, the weather has me craving soup. So tonight I made a sicilian fish soup. My was it good.
Here is the recipe...
6 tbs olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 large cloves of garlic (I use one giant clove of elephant garlic because it's sweeter and more mellow)
2/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 cup of chopped tomato (usually one medium tomato)
1 1/3 cup of cold water
2/3 cup dry white wine (really any white you like or have on hand would probably do just fine)
2 lbs of fish (again - this is up to your discretion. I recommend cod and bay scallops but I'm sure whatever white fish and/or shell fish you like or have on hand would work too.)
Heat olive oil on medium to medium high heat. Add garlic and onion and saute for 4 minutes. Add the parsley stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes and then add the tomato and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, add the water, wine and fish (cut to bite size pieces - although if you're using cod throw it in whole, stirring will break it up once it cooks) and simmer for about 10 minutes more. With your ever handy salt and pepper grinders, season to taste and enjoy!
Oh- and don't forget the chunk of baguette for sopping up broth!!
