Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb White Fish (cod or haddock), cut into pieces For best flavor, choose wild-caught fish.
  • 4 cups Fish or chicken broth
  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 2 medium Potatoes, diced
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Choose organic, grass-fed butter for richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to suit your taste.
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring frequently until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and dried thyme, allowing them to coat in the buttery goodness for about 2-3 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the broth and bring everything to a rolling boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  2. Gently add the fish pieces into the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Finally, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
  4. Let it heat through for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Add greens like spinach or kale towards the end of cooking for extra nutrients. Pair with whole-grain bread or crackers for added fiber and texture.
