Icelandic Fish Soup (Fiskisupa)



A rich creamy soup with tender pieces of perfectly cooked fish, leeks, and potatoes. So delicious! A warm comforting meal inspired by my travels to Iceland. - Abra Pappa

Ingredients

  • 1.5lbshalibutor other white fish like cod or striped bass
  • 2tbspbutter
  • 1tbsp olive oil
  • 1leek, about 1 cup sliced
  • 3stalkscelery, about 1/2 cup diced
  • 1 medium onion, about 1.5 cups diced
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1/2tspcurry powder
  • 2tbsp tomato paste
  • 32ounceschicken stock
  • 3/4lbpotatoes, cut into 1" chunksabout 4 small yukon gold potatoes
  • 1cupheavy cream
  • 1/4cup heavy cream, whipped (optional)

Garnish

  • 1tbspchopped chives
  • celery leaves

Instructions

  • In a large stock pot over medium heat melt butter and olive oil together. Add sliced leeks, celery, and onion. Cook for 7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  • Add salt, curry powder and tomato paste. Stir well and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock and potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender, 15-25 minutes.
  • While your potatoes are cooking prepare your soup garnish. In a small bowl add 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  • Add halibut (or other fish) and cook for 2-4 minutes, until just done. Please do not overcook your fish, that would make me sad.
  • Turn off the heat and slowly swirl in 1 cup of heavy cream.
  • Serve the soup with a spoonful of homemade whipped cream, chives, and celery leaves.

Notes

  • A thick cut of fish works best in this recipe. If you are using a thinner fish cook for just a few minutes until tender.
  • Shellfish works equally well, shrimp, scallops or lobster. In Iceland they allowed the hot broth to cook the lobster, no additional cooking was necessary. It was perfection.
