"When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain."
-Mark Twain, National Treasure

The refrigerator light goes on...

Soup doesn't have to take all day to prepare. This is a quick and easy fish soup that is so warming on a fall or winter day. There's a lot of pepper in this, making it spicy and aromatic at the same time. All of that and 10 grams of fiber!

1 tsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion
8 ounces red potato
8 ounces parsnip
1 medium carrot
3 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
2 bay leaves
8 ounces tilapia filets
1/8 tsp salt

Place the olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.

Add the potatoes, parsnips and carrots and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes. Stir often so as to not let the vegetables brown. Add the water and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Add the salt, pepper, thyme, oregano and bay. Simmer for about 20 - 30 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir the soup frequently. When the vegetables have cooked to the point that they are soft but not mushy add the fish. Add the 1/8 tsp salt.

Cook for about 5 minutes until the fish begins to flake. Serve.
