Fish soup with tomatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook delicious fish soup with tomatoes? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Any red fish is suitable: salmon, trout, pink salmon, chum salmon, etc. I have pink salmon. You can replace and supplement the vegetable part to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse red fish thoroughly. Cut off the fins. Cut the fish into medium pieces. There should be enough meat in the fish. Therefore, it is better to use fillet. I had a large tail, which was enough for soup. If you have a fish head, you can also add it to the soup. Salt and pepper the fish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash strong ripe tomatoes, dry and cut into slices or circles. I had plum tomatoes. Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during cutting and cooking, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the carrots and cut into semicircles. If you wish, you can grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the dill, dry and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, green onions, cilantro. You can take a mixture of different greens. The soup will benefit from this.

9. STEP 9

   

   Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Fry until fragrant.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add potatoes and carrots. Fry, stirring, 5 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour in hot water. Season the soup with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are done.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add fish and tomatoes to the soup. Cook until the fish is ready for about 20 minutes. If necessary, add salt to the soup.

13. STEP 13

    

    At the end, pour lemon juice into the soup, add chopped herbs and lemon zest. Stir.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the soup from the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour the finished fish soup with tomatoes and lemon into bowls and serve. Bon appetit!

For family gatherings we decided to cook fish soup over a fire. I took a recipe for fish soup with tomatoes as a basis and adapted it for cooking in a cauldron over a fire. They made fish soup from the ridges and tail of trout. It’s difficult to maintain proportions here; we mostly took everything by eye. The onion was not chopped, but simply cut into 4 parts, and three medium onions were taken. The garlic was left in the teeth. Lightly fried them with butter. This was new for me). This technique gave the ear a creamy, velvety taste! Potatoes and carrots were coarsely chopped and whole tomatoes were added. Children do not eat them in the ear, but during cooking all the juices go into the broth. We only took the juice from the lemon; it perfectly enriches the taste of any fish and fish soup made from it! We got the most delicious and aromatic fish soup! The broth is clear with golden fat! The vegetables were well soaked and very tasty. The older generation liked the bones). Everyone liked the fish soup with tomatoes!
