I decided to make pike perch soup for lunch. I had two medium-sized pike perch carcasses. I used the heads and tails for the soup, and used the rest of the fish to prepare the second one. I prepared it for two liters of water. I didn’t have caraway seeds; instead I added a couple of pinches of nutmeg. Despite the ease of preparation, the soup turned out to be very tasty, rich, and aromatic. The taste of the soup is rich and bright. An excellent first course that the whole family loved. Thank you very much for the recipe!

You can prepare a light dietary fish soup from the heads and bones of pike perch. This time I followed this recipe and added carrots, although I usually don’t add them. I liked the soup with carrots, the taste was more interesting and the color became more cheerful) I also cut the onion into cubes as in the recipe. From the greens I took traditional dill. But I refused to use cumin; its aroma is too strong in my opinion. Although I like it in Borodino bread. I always strain fish broth to avoid small bones getting into the plate. The result was a nutritious, beautiful and tasty fish soup.
