Ingredients

1 pound fresh cod fillets, cut into chunks

4 cups fish or vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy hot with crusty bread or crackers.
