Garlic, minced
2 cloves
Celery, chopped
½ cup (125 ml)
Onions, chopped
½ cup (125 ml)
Carrots, chopped
½ cup (125 ml)
Chicken or veg broth
1 cup (250 ml)

½ cup (125 ml)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Mixed herbs, basil, parsley, cilantro (or your favourites)
¼ cup (60 ml)
Fennel sprigs
Lemon
4 slices
Instructions
- Reduce your white wine to ½ the volume and lay it aside.
- Sautee your onions, garlic, celery and carrots in olive oil until lightly browned. Add a little salt and pepper.
- When the vegetables have reached the desired tenderness (several minutes), add in chicken broth and white wine reduction (or 1 cup of broth of choice), canned diced tomatoes, fennel, and kale, and bring up to a boil.
- As soon as it comes to a boil, turn down the heat so it is at a low simmer. Add your fish in a single layer along with the zucchini on top of your soup but don't mix it in. Let it come to a boil again and turn it off, cover it and remove the pot from the heat.
- To serve, ladle into your bowl, top with fresh herbs, a good squeeze of lemon and fresh cracked pepper.
