I liked this soup and, yes, it’s very healthy. I did find it on the bland side and so would make it with broth (at least partially) next time.

Agree that it's healthy, I think it has enough flavor but you can try adding broth and see how you like it that way. Thanks for leaving your comment! - Alena

Very delicious and easy to make

I’m a college student so I really like good food that is 1) fast, 2) easy to cook, and 3) affordable. This soup meets all of those criteria and is really delicious, I always make enough to have leftovers for lunches. The only difference from the recipe above is that I use Alaskan polluck instead of cod because it was cheaper at the store when I went. Overall, very delicious, especially for cold weather.

Glad to hear you like the recipe. Once you have a family, you will still keep these criteria ;) Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with us!

Made the soup this evening...wonderful recipe we really enjoyed it. I added a few jumbo prawns just because we like prawns. worked out well.

Thank you for your wonderful review and tip! - Alena

Made this last night exactly as written. It was very good. Any reason why fillets and not cod fish loins? Cheaper and guaranteed no bones. I'm making more to freeze. So good.

Both will work great! Thanks for leaving your wonderful review! - Alena

This soup looks so simple and wholesome. Alaskan cod is a great fish to utilize.

alenatrs August 2, 2018 9:39 PM

Thank you, Constance! I like cod and have many recipes with cod here. Hope you'll check them out!

Tastes subtle and delicious

Guest May 24, 2018 7:57 PM

I loved the fresh and bright taste of this soup. You can really savor all the complexities - the lemon flavor is especially noticeable and delicious. I used a chicken broth that I made and it was perfect with this recipe.

Thanks for taking the time to share your excellent review!

SneakyChicken, thank you for your honest opinion! I like the way you modified the recipe!

I love the heartiness of this recipe, but I found it to be lacking in flavor. The second time I made it, I added some chili paste, used vegetable stock instead of water, a little extra garlic, a TINY bit of thyme, and used salted butter to sautée the onion and celery. I turned the heat off after I added the cod and added some chopped summer squash and was very pleased with the outcome. It was even better the next day.

That’s so great to hear olga-semenova! Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely loved this soup, I'm so glad I found this recipe! To my surprise, my kids loved it, too! I'll be making it again and again, thank you!
