Method

  1. Put the pasta sauce and stock into a large saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 mins. Add the courgettes and fennel and simmer for 2 mins.
  2. Cut the hoki fillets into 4cm pieces. Add to the soup and poach over a low heat for 2-3 mins or until the fish is cooked. Don't stir too often or the fish will break up. Gently stir in the basil and adjust the seasoning.
  3. Mix the chipotle chilli mix or chilli paste with the crème fraîche and season. Ladle the soup into bowls and spoon a dollop of crème fraîche on top.

    This was really tasty but I did reduce the recommendation on the Fennel and replaced Hoki with chucky pieces of Cod. Good recommendation not to stir too frequently, that way you get nice size pieces of fish in the soup. Delicious!

    I sweated the veg a little first, used pollock because of the price and garnished it with a few green olives. Result - simple, healthy tasty!

    I also put onion in and I stirred too often so I had tiny fish flakes but it was still delicious!
