Vegetable-Cod Soup
"I don't really care for fish soups, but I like this one because the fish is mild and firm and because the broth doesn't take an overly fishy taste. You can use any mild white fish for this soup. I have used tilapia when it was on hand. I also prefer to use a low-sodium broth when it is available. From BHG.com"

So disappointed and sad because I wasted a lot of quality ingredients. Bland, blah, and boring! Had to write this so no one makes this soup. -
Thought this was really easy and although I doubled the recipe I stayed true to the overall ingredients but added more onion and carrots than called for. It didn't have quite enough punch so I did go heavy on garlic, and used fresh herbs since I happened to have them on hand. The flavor is actually quite delicate and in the end I added a Trader Joes size jar of saffron and it was fantastic. The green beans didn't do much for me but added a nice bit of green and I also added celery. Thanks for the recipe - we enjoyed it and will absolutely make it again. -
Great recipe, quick and easy to make. Even though I didn't have all the ingredients, substituting didn't ruin it at all. I replaced green beans and cabbage with potatoes and fresh tomatoes, added garlic and a little salt, and it came out fantastic! Thank you! -
This is a really good fish soup. I didn't have the exact ingredients and had to substitute a few things. I use brussel sprouts instead of cabbage and we were out of beans so I put in a half a can of diced tomatoes. Just before the soup was done I diced up some fresh Chives and gave the soup a good squeeze of fresh lemon.....WOW! Severed it with fresh French bread and a glass of Pinot Grigio....Excellent!

Love fish soups, this is a particularly good one! I used frozen whole green beans and fresh basil, thyme and rosemary. Was out of carrots, but did add one whole chopped jalepeno which added a nice zip. The rest of the recipe I followed exactly. I will be making this one often, quite delicious, thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I moved from Ohio to the West Coast about 4 years ago and I currently work as an assistant at an intellectual property law firm in Silicon Valley.
I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I'm not much of baker, though, since I hate to measure my ingredients. Like most everyone else these days, I am always on the lookout for low-calorie recipes. I recently married and I try to cook dinner for my husband and I at least 6 times a week, which he heartily supports.
When I'm not cooking or browsing through cookbooks from the library or second-hand store, I can usually be found knitting something, playing video games with DH, or just watching tv. I also love exploring the great outdoors, whether it be hiking, kayaking, biking, or just doing a little sightseeing around town. I am finishing up a paralegal certificate at the community college and am now considering preparation for law school. The crockpot recipes here definitely helped us stay fed while I was taking night classes!
