Cod and Spinach Soup
Cod and spinach soup is a warming, protein-rich soup made with flaky cod fillet, fresh spinach, potatoes and aromatic ras el hanout. The Thermomix sautés the onion and garlic, simmers the fish stock and blends everything to your preferred texture, delivering a silky, flavourful bowl with minimal hands-on effort.
About this recipe
Cod and spinach soup in the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick weeknight dinner that tastes like it simmered all afternoon. Flaky cod fillet, vitamin-rich fresh spinach and soft potatoes come together in a ras el hanout-scented fish stock, creating a bowl that is both light and satisfying. Searching for healthy cod recipes or easy fish soup recipes? This one uses the all-in-one kitchen machine to chop the onion and garlic, sauté them with olive oil and simmer the stock at a precisely controlled temperature, so nothing catches or burns. The mixing function then lets you choose your texture: a rustic broth with generous flakes of cod or a velvety blended soup with wilted spinach stirred through. With over 30 grams of protein per serving, it suits fitness-focused eaters, families introducing more fish, and anyone who loves North African flavours without the heat. It is soup season all year round with this recipe.
Preparation tips
- Cut the cod into large chunks and add it at the very end of cooking so the flakes stay juicy and intact rather than disintegrating into the potato base of the soup.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly even if it is pre-washed, as gritty leaves will spoil the silky texture; pat dry before adding to the mixing bowl with the hot stock.
- For a milder family version, reduce the ras el hanout and let everyone season their own bowl; the potatoes and cod keep it kid-friendly and gentle on the palate.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge and reheat gently without boiling, as fierce heat toughens the cod flakes and dulls the fresh spinach colour.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free and gluten-free as written, but for a creamier version, stir through a splash of lactose-free cream or coconut milk after blending for a richer, Moroccan-inspired cod soup.
- Seasonal alternative: swap the spinach for tender nettle tops in spring or curly kale in winter, keeping the same cod, potato and ras el hanout base for year-round variation.
