Delicious and vibrant fish and vegetable soup - perfect for a light and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 leeks (white part only), thinly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 3 small carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1.5L (6 cups) boiling chicken style liquid stock, or water
  • 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 150g green beans, thinly sliced on an angle
  • 400g can borlotti beans, rinsed, drained
  • 4 (about 70g each) red mullet fillets
  • 40.00 gm pesto
  • Flat-leaf parsley leaves, to garnish
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, simmer leeks and celery in olive oil over medium-low heat until soft. Add carrots and boiling stock (or water); bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the zucchini, green beans, and borlotti beans in the pot and simmer until the beans are heated through and the vegetables are just tender, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the fish fillets to the soup and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then serve the soup in bowls with the fish on top.
  • Top the fish with a generous spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy your beautifully flavored dish.
