Fish soup with fresh vegetables sounds like a delightful and wholesome dish, especially when prepared with local, fresh ingredients from the countryside. Here's a simple recipe for you to enjoy:

Ingredients:

Fresh fish (e.g., whitefish, cod, tilapia) - about 500g, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
Assorted fresh vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, celery) - about 2 cups, chopped
Potatoes - 2 medium-sized, peeled and diced
Garlic - 3-4 cloves, minced
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Fish or vegetable broth - 4 cups
Water - 2 cups
Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, dill) - a handful, chopped
Salt and pepper - to taste
Lemon wedges - for serving (optional)
Instructions:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute or until it becomes fragrant.

Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.

Add the diced potatoes and stir for a couple of minutes to coat them with the oil and flavors.

Pour in the fish or vegetable broth and water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender.

Now, add the chopped vegetables (carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, etc.) to the pot. Continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not overly soft.

Season the soup with salt and pepper according to your taste.

Gently place the fish pieces into the soup and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flaky.

Add the chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or any herbs of your choice) to the soup, giving it a burst of fresh flavors.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Ladle the fish soup with fresh vegetables into serving bowls and optionally squeeze a bit of lemon juice over each serving for a zesty touch.

Enjoy your delicious and nourishing fish soup with fresh vegetables from your countryside bounty! It's best served with some crusty bread on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
