Ingredients
1 lb firm white fish (cod
halibut
or sea bass)
cut into bite-sized chunks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion
finely diced
3 cloves garlic
minced
2 medium carrots
sliced into thin rounds
1 fennel bulb
thinly sliced
1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
4 cups high-quality vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a deep
earthy warmth)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

- Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, and dried oregano, mixing well.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
