Preparing the Soup Base
Heat Olive Oil

Sauté Onion and Garlic
Add onion and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent.

Pour in fish stock and water and bring to a simmer.
Preparing the Vegetables
Add Vegetables
Add potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot.
Simmer Vegetables
Let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until vegetables are just tender.
Adjust Lid
Keep the lid slightly ajar to manage simmer intensity.
Avoid boiling the soup to prevent cream from curdling. Blanch vegetables separately if you want them to maintain vivid color.

Reduce heat and allow the soup base with vegetables to simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Adding Fish
