Fish soup with crucian carp soup

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook fish soup from crucian carp fish soup? First of all, prepare the fish. It is better to use freshly caught crucian carp; the soup with them turns out excellent. The amount of fish can be reduced or increased to taste. If you have them frozen, defrost them in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Clean the crucian carp from scales and remove the gills. If the gills are not removed, the broth in the soup will be bitter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the rest of the ingredients you will need for the fish soup. Take carrots and onions that are not very large in size. Adjust the amount of potatoes depending on the desired thickness of the soup.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut large crucian carp into portions, leave small fish whole. Place the crucian carp in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place the fish over high heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time, take care of your vegetables. Peel potatoes, carrots and onions. Wash the vegetables under cold running water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the potatoes into small cubes or cubes. Chop the carrots into strips and the onions into half rings or squares. For soup, it is permissible to grate carrots on a coarse grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   When boiling, foam forms in the pan; remove it with a spoon. Salt the broth to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Reduce the flame and cook the fish over low heat until cooked. The time depends on the size of the crucian carp (I cooked for about 10 minutes). Remove the finished fish from the pan with a slotted spoon.

9. STEP 9

   

   Strain the broth through a sieve or cheesecloth. This must be done in order to remove seeds or small scales.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the pan on the stove and bring the broth to a boil again. Add potatoes, onions and carrots to the broth. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender. This usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the fish and finely chopped herbs into the pan. Dill and young green onions are ideal for fish soup. Let the soup simmer for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and let sit for a while.

12. STEP 12

    

    Done, ready to serve!

Today is Palm Sunday, which means everyone who is fasting can enjoy fish. We caught fresh fish the day before, and today I cooked crucian carp fish soup for lunch at home. I put the washed fish in a large pan so that when boiling it would not get dirty on the stove. I decided to add a whole onion, carrots, bay leaves and whole sprigs of greens to the broth. The recipe specifies a small ratio of water to fish and that's correct, I think. The less water, the richer and tastier the soup) I cooked the broth for 15 minutes after boiling over low heat. The crucian carp boiled over during this time, but the broth turned out to be satisfying. I also strained it through a fine strainer so that no bones would get into the plate. I didn’t throw away the carrots, but cut them with a curly knife and put them in the pan along with the potatoes and onions. At the end of cooking, I added dill. I also think dill and green onions go great with fish soup. The soup turned out great! Well, very tasty, rich in juices of vegetables and herbs, transparent. Today we had a lot of children visiting and everyone ate their portion of fish soup, and this is a serious indicator) For the adults, I added green onions and black pepper to their plates.

Great, but we usually fry crucian carp and make fish soup from the head of a big fish
