Flavorful, low-fat soup bursting with satisfaction.
Ingredients:
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 1 baby fennel, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 750ml (3 cups) water
  • 400g can no-added-salt diced tomatoes
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 400g can no-added-salt cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
  • 400g firm white fish fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 250g peeled medium green prawns
  • 1 large zucchini, halved, thinly sliced
  • Chopped fresh continental parsley, to serve
  • 8 thin slices sourdough baguette
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Make croutons by rubbing both sides of bread with a garlic clove, then placing them on a baking tray and spraying with olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until they are golden and crisp.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion, celery, and fennel until soft, about 6-7 minutes. Add garlic and chili flakes, and sauté for 1 more minute until aromatic.
  • Combine water, tomato, and bay leaf in a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Then, add beans, fish, prawns, and zucchini, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the seafood is cooked and the zucchini is tender. Season with pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve with garlic croutons.
