- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

- You can substitute the cod with other firm white fish, such as haddock or halibut, depending on availability.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or green peas for added sweetness and texture.
