A delicious tilapia soup
By camerica
Savory, satisfying, and easy!
Although normally one wouldn't think of tilapia as a soup fish, it is perfect for this soup because of its delicate flavor. I apologize for not having a photo -- after writing this recipe, though, I will probably want to make it and I will take a picture then to put up here. Until then, trust me. It's delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1-2 filet of tilapia
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1-2 stalk celery, chopped (celery leaves work also)
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. parsley
- 1/2 tsp dill
- 1 pinch pepper
- juice of 1/2 lemon or 1 whole lemon, depending on your tastes
- salt to taste
- 1 slice flavorful bread (for croutons); my favorite bread for this, if you can find it, is cottage cheese dill bread.
In a medium pot, boil the fish and oil. Add carrots, celery and onion. After about 10 minutes, add the parsley, dill and pepper. Boil until carrots are tender -- in the meantime, cut the bread into cubes and fry in oil. Add lemon juice to broth, break up the tilapia with a spoon and slightly blend with a hand mixer. Add salt and croutons and serve. It's that easy!

What is the base for this soup? Broth or milk??
How much water, milk or broth do I use?
Fill a medium pot about 2/3 or 3/4 full, and that's about right for this recipe. Very nice soup, BTW.
I prepared this soup last night using some leftover baked tilapia, carrots/fresh dill/fresh parsley/spinach from my CSA farm box, and it was the best fish soup I have ever made. My husband and 15 year old son had seconds and then thirds. It was so simple and yet so delicious.
hry I wanna try this, what's the base though? fill the pot up with what to boil it in? water? you can't boil it in 2 teaspoons of oil.is it chicken stock, water, a dry white wine?
Sorrel and capers are a nice touch to this recipe too.
Awesome soup Thx much!!
