directions
- Prepare all ingredients as listed. (Slice the garlic, dice the potatoes & carrots, slice mushrooms if needed, etc.) Heat oil & butter in stock pot. Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste. Add a couple of dashes of soy sauce. Let cook until semi-tender. Add more butter & oil, then sprinkle in a couple of tablespoons of flour. Add more or less depending on how thick you like your soup. Let cook for a couple of minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add the entire can of crushed tomatoes along with the stock and the juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- While that is simmering, heat a large pan. Add butter and oil and let butter melt. Salt and pepper the fish and lay seasoned side down in the hot pan.
- Salt and pepper the other side of the fish. Let sear on the first side and flip, doing the same to the other side.
- If desired, you may hit the fish with a splash of lemon or lime juice at the end.
- Once fish is done, remove to plate. Deglaze pan with lemon juice and dump into the soup. Let flavors simmer together for a couple more minutes.
- When ready to serve, place a couple of pieces of the fish in the bottom of your soup bowl. Spoon or ladle soup over the fish and serve with crusty bread. Enjoy!

Not much to say - I'm a photographer and designer who truly enjoys cooking, although I'm not much for baking (more like I'm impatient and don't like to measure!)
