Greek Fish Soup is Delicious!

[d_kakavouli]

I recently had Greek fish soup at someone's house and I realized that I want to learn how to make it for myself. She did give me a recipe, but I am wondering if you guys have some tips. Here is her ingredients list:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 celery stalks, cleaned and chopped
• 2 whole carrots, peeled and chopped
• 10 cups water
• 2 potatoes, chopped
• 1 pound white fish
• 1 cup small pasta like orzo
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• lemon juice, for serving

I am not super attached to making her version, but those of you who have cooked it, can you take a look at the ingredients and let me know if you have anything to add or subtract? Would seasoning with a bit of saffron taste good in this dish? I have some gorgeous saffron from Greece.

The ingredient list looks solid. You could add parsley to add a nice aroma. Some also add bay leaf.

Instead of just water, I would add a couple of chicken or vegetable broth cubes.

I would add bay leaf, as well. Fresh herbs to garnish like parsley, chives - delicious. I use one or the other - both give a different flavor.
