Water/Broth For the Soup

Normally, using broth is preferable for soup, but in this case, there are so many vegetables in the soup, that the water soaks in all their different flavors and it tastes phenomenal with just water

What other fish can be used in this soup?

Fish soups are wonderful because they are very versatile and you can use a variety of different fish and seafood here. Cod is another great fish to use and other thick boneless, skinless fish fillets, such as haddock, snapper, steelhead trout, tilapia, bass, etc. Shrimp is another great option to use instead of fish. You can also use a combination of different fish fillets and/or shrimp.

What kind of salmon should be used?

You can use either fresh or frozen salmon, boneless and skinless fillets, in this soup. You can also use any variety of salmon that you like. If you like it sauteed or roasted, you will enjoy it in the soup too.

Saute the vegetables for the best flavor.

If you add the vegetables to the soup without sautéing them first, the soup will be a bit more watery and bland. Sautéing the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness and concentrate their flavors, making the overall flavor of the soup better.

Instructions

Prep all the vegetables.
In a dutch oven or a large pot, heat the butter or oil until hot, then add the onion, seasoning with salt and ground black pepper to taste, and cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, just until the onions have softened.
Add the carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until tender.
Add the peppers, mix to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and garlic. Mix to combine, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the bay leaf, pour in the water and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, season to taste with salt.
Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes have cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Cut the salmon into approximately 2 – inch pieces. Add the salmon at the very end, when the rest of the vegetables are completely cooked through. You can use both fresh or frozen fish. If the fish is frozen, you can add it into the soup without thawing it; it will thaw and cook through in the soup. If using frozen fish, cook for about 7 minutes, and about 5 minutes if using fresh/defrosted fish.
Pour in the heavy cream off the heat, if using. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve hot.
