Cod Soup from County Cork
This cod soup, inspired by the Good Things Café of West County Cork, Ireland, combines Provençal-style flavors with Irish regional ingredients, especially cod.
Ireland, surrounded by ocean all around, is a seafood rich country, and soups containing fish and shellfish is common along the coasts.
While cod is more known for the "fish" in fish and chips, it also shows up in this delicious soup.
This soup is super comforting, nutritious, and can easily be used as a main dish with a salad and a loaf of your favorite bread.
It turned out to be so surprisingly delicious and one of my favorite seafood dishes.
