Can Inuse celery root instead of potato? Or other suggestions. I stay away from potatoes

I haven't tried making this soup with celery root, but I think cauliflower or celery root might work to substitute potatoes. - Alena

Delicious soup and easy to prepare! The soup is delicious as is. I had leftovers and added a little bit of heat like red pepper flakes, cayenne and medium salsa perfect for cold winter days. Yum!

Very good

Guest
Instead of all water I added a bottle of clam juice, a can of broth and a tablespoon of chicken better than bullion. This gave the broth very nice flavor. I made my own bread in a Banneton.

delicious soup

Guest
a tip to increase the flavor: saute onions, garlic, celery and carrots in 1tbs of olive oil and 1tbs of butter, then add boiling water, fish and potatoes plus spices and cook for 10 minutes. You will be surprised how much more flavorful your soup will be. delicious!

Good, healthy

Guest
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.

Very delicious and easy to make

Guest
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.

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.

Tastes subtle and delicious

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.

Bland

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.
