Ingredients

  • 600ml chicken/vegetable stock (for an easy option try FODMarket)
  • A stick of celery, thinly sliced
  • 400g tinned tomatoes
  • 4 skinless cod/white fish fillets
  • 250g potatoes

Method

Add the stock, celery, tinned tomatoes, potatoes and fresh chilli (or chilli flakes) to a large pan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season the cod with salt and pepper, add to broth mixture along with the sliced green beans and cover. Simmer until fish is opaque throughout and just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste. When ready to serve, divide fish, vegetables and broth between 4 bowls.
