"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
4 large potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
Salt
3 tbsp olive oil
2 onions, thinly sliced
4 ribs celery from the heart, with leafy greens, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large bay leaf
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
Pepper
1/2 c dry white wine
1 c chicken broth

Directions:
Directions:
In a deep pot, add the potatoes and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. In a large, deep skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and lemon peel; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are softened, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 c chicken broth and the tomatoes with their juice; bring to a simmer. Add the cod in a single layer, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Gently stir in the shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the cod and shrimp are just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice; discard the bay leaf. Mash the potatoes with the remaining 1/2 c chicken broth, the vinegar and butter; season with salt.
To serve, ladle soup around a scoop of potatoes in a bowl.

Personal Notes:
Although we don't do it all of the time, we like the idea of having a fish dish on Fridays. If salmon is too expensive at the time, this is our go-to dish. Sometimes I'll use another white fish that happens to be on sale. Although I haven't tried it yet, you could substitute the potatoes if you don't want the starch/carbs. Check out my "No Carb Mashed Potatoes" recipe and substitute cauliflower here for the potatoes. You could also try using brown rice instead. I haven't tested these yet, but it sounds like a good experiment.
