Cod and potato soup or Zuppa di baccalà

Cod and potato soup is a simple dish to prepare, hot, creamy, made up of a few ingredients but at the same time rich in taste. You know, in winter, especially on days when the cold is more intense, there is nothing better than a hot and steaming soup and this one I propose today is an example. A soup prepared with ingredients from the sea and land simple, quick and tasty, an excellent single dish if we accompany it with some croutons. But now let's see how to prepare the Cod and Potato Soup.

Ingredients

800 g Desalted cod

800 g Potatoes

400 ml Tomato puree

1 Onions

1 chili pepper

Oregano

4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

Salt

Preparation

Prepare the cod and potato soup first of all by washing the cod and peeling it. Dab it with absorbent kitchen paper and divide it into pieces. Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into rather thick wedges. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the potatoes, chopped chilli pepper and a pinch of salt, and brown for a few minutes. Add the tomato puree and cook covered and over medium heat for about fifteen minutes. Add the pieces of cod and a handful of oregano, add water if necessary, and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes (at this stage avoid stirring so that the pieces of cod do not fall apart; rather grab the pot by the handles and turn it over). Distribute the cod and potato soup on serving plates and serve.
