Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh white fish fillets

- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup water
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 onion, sliced

Directions
- In a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until they are finely minced.
- Transfer the minced fish to a bowl and add breadcrumbs, parsley, green onions, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the fish balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, water, carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

- Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley leaves.
- Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of Grandmum's Fish Ball Soup!
