- Heat the oil or melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook the onion, celery, and garlic, stirring about 3 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and stir.
- Add the water and bouillon, or the broth, along with the tomatoes; cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are almost tender (5 to 10 minutes, unless you have cut large chunks).
- Add the fish and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Season with pepper. Serve with chopped parsley, if desired.
- *NOTE: The soup may be prepared in advance to the point just before the fish is added, then covered and refrigerated up to one day. Reheat the soup, add the fish, and cook as directed.
