Salted cod soup
Description
This wonderful salted cod soup recipe I honestly borrowed from Jamie Oliver's book on Italian cuisine. The cod soup turns out incredibly delicious and aromatic (I simply don't have enough literary talent to describe it properly). You can confidently serve it at a festive table for your most cherished guests. A gourmet dish made from very simple and common ingredients. Warning: you might swallow the spoon along with it :)

Salted cod must first be soaked in cold water for 24 hours. It is advisable to change the water periodically during soaking. This is a mandatory step.

Simmer the vegetables over low heat for 15 minutes. The vegetables should soften, but must not fry at all—if they start to fry, add a little water and oil.
