Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb cod fillets cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 3 cups golden potatoes diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the cod into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and roughly chop the spinach. Dice the potatoes and onion, and mince the garlic.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
  • Stir in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Gently add the cod pieces and chopped spinach. Simmer until the cod is cooked through and the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed to ensure the soup is flavorful.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.

Storage

  • Allow the soup to cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
