Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or ghee if tolerated
  • 1 small shallot peeled and minced
  • 3 carrots washed, trimmed, and diced
  • 3 celery ribs diced
  • 1 small fennel bulb core and stems removed, diced
  • 1 small white sweet potato peeled and diced
  • 1 ½ tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 4 cups bone or fish broth
  • Pinch of saffron threads optional
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk cream mixed into the water (more if desired)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 5- ounce cod fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 5- ounce skinless coho or king salmon fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 12 medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, warm the olive oil or ghee. Add the shallot, carrots, celery, fennel, and sweet potato. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the thyme and bay leaf, and continue to sauté until the vegetables start to turn golden and the herbs are fragrant. This should take about 3 to 5 more minutes. Again, stir so the vegetables don’t stick to the pot or start to blacken. Turn the heat down if needed.
  • Add the broth and saffron to the pot and turn the heat to high. As soon as the broth comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a rolling simmer. Cook until the potatoes are almost softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Stir the cream of the coconut milk into the coconut water to make a smooth milk. Add the coconut milk, fish, and shrimp to the pot. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the fish and shrimp are just opaque.
  • Ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve while hot with AIP-compliant cassava chips, biscuits, or crackers.
