"If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime."
-Dan Quale, Former Vice President of the United States
Any fish will do for this recipe but I like using a firm white fish for a couple of reasons. First is the color but more important is that the flavor will not be as intense as a tuna or salmon. Further, a fish like cod or mahi mahi will remain firm after cooking slowly in the soup pot.
As with most soups they are better the next day. This is a great soup when just made but the following day it takes on an even greater richness and depth of flavor.

2 | ribs celery (diced) |
1 large | carrot (peeled and diced) |
16 ounces | yams (peeled and diced) |
2 | anchovy filets (canned in water is best) (minced) |
5 cups | water |
1/2 | lemon (juiced) |
2 | bay leaves |
1/2 tsp | dried marjoram |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |

Place the olive oil in a medium stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about two minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the celery and carrots and cook for two minutes. Add the yams and cook for one minute.
Add the anchovies, water, lemon juice, bay leaves, marjoram, salt and pepper.
Peel and crush, but don't chop the garlic. Add the two cloves to the pot. Reduce the heat until the soup is simmering. Stir occasionally and cook for about 45 minutes.
Cut the fish into 1 inch cubes and add to the soup. Cook for another 20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and bay leaves before serving.
