Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrot thinly sliced
- 4 cups fish stock (or vegetable stock)
- 4 cups water
- 3-4 medium potato peeled and cubed
- 3 bay leaf
- 10 black peppercorns
- salt (to taste)
- 1/3 cup millet
- 1/2 pound fresh cod cut into cubes, filet
- 1/2 pound salmon cut into cubes, filet
- Handful dill for serving, fresh, or parsley
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions start to caramelize. Add the carrots and cook until the carrots start to soften, about 4 more minutes.
- Add the stock, water, potatoes, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add the millet and cook for 15 more minutes until millet and potatoes are cooked.
- Gently add the fish cubes. Stir and bring the soup to a simmer. The fish will cook through very fast, so make sure to not overcook them. They are done when the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
- Garnish the soup with chopped fresh dill or parsley before serving.
Notes
- *You can skip the millet. Just reduce the amount of liquid used by 1 cup. Without millet the soup will be more brothy.
- ** Instead of cod and salmon, use any other type of fish available.
