Fresh frozen mackerel fish soup

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook delicious soup from fresh frozen mackerel quickly and easily? Start by preparing the necessary ingredients according to the list. I made the soup from fresh frozen mackerel, but you can replace it with fresh one. You can replace fresh parsley root with a mixture of dried roots or with a celery root or stalk.

2. STEP 2

   

   If the fish is already gutted, remove the fins and gills and rinse it well. Frozen fish usually requires additional cleaning. Without defrosting completely, remove the entrails, black films inside the abdomen, and remove the gills. Rinse everything thoroughly. Cut the fish into portions. To keep the broth transparent, it is advisable to pour water over the fish pieces and leave for 10 minutes so that all the blood comes out of the fish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash and peel all vegetables. Cut the potatoes into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the carrots into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the parsley root into small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Also cut the onion into small cubes. If you don’t like to taste the onion in the finished soup, you can leave the onion whole, put it in the broth with the potatoes and remove it at the end of cooking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Finely chop the garlic or cut into slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Finely chop the parsley.

9. STEP 9

   

   Heat the butter in a frying pan. Add onion, garlic, carrots and parsley root to the pan. Fry, stirring, 5-7 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place potatoes, pieces of mackerel and fried vegetables from the pan into the pan. Add bay leaves, salt and pepper everything to taste. In addition to the specified spices, you can add spices for fish first courses.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour about 1.5 liters of water into the pan, or more if you like soups with a lot of broth. Place the pan over medium heat.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bring the soup to a boil and simmer, skimming, for about 30 minutes until the fish and potatoes are cooked through.

13. STEP 13

    

    Remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Then pour the mackerel soup into bowls, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve. Bon appetit!

Today is my fish day, and one of the dishes is a recipe for fresh frozen mackerel fish soup. I defrosted the mackerel a little, cleaned it, put the carcasses away for other recipes, and the tails and heads will go into the soup, since I don’t like boiled fish, but I like fish broth. I prepared vegetables - carrots, onions, potatoes, cut everything into small cubes, simmered them in a saucepan with a spoonful of vegetable oil, put fish in it, poured hot water, added salt, pepper and bay leaves, cooked until tender for about 20 minutes. I served the soup with croutons from white bread. This mackerel fish soup is ideal for those who are on a diet or proper nutrition, an excellent option for baby food, low in calories, light and flavorful. Thanks to the author for the recipe.
