- 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sautรฉ until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add the diced carrots, cubed potatoes, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the diced tomatoes (and their juice) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Pour in the fish or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- 6
Add the chopped lovage, parsley, and dill (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Lovage provides a unique, slightly celery-like flavor that is characteristic of some Bulgarian fish soups. - 7
Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering soup. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish.

Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: For a thicker, richer soup, you can prepare a roux by melting butter in a small pan, whisking in flour, and cooking for 1-2 minutes. Then, gradually whisk in some of the hot soup liquid before adding it back to the main pot. - 9
Serve the fish stew hot, garnished with extra fresh parsley and dill. It's traditionally served with crusty bread or sometimes rice.
