Soup with sprats

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook soup with sprats? Pour the required amount of water into the pan. Place the pan on the fire until the water boils and peel the potatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   It is best to take young potatoes, the soup will be tastier with them, and there are much more benefits in young potatoes. Cut the potatoes into small cubes. Wait for the water to boil and add the potatoes into the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion, wash and finely chop. I recommend periodically moistening the knife with cold water to reduce watering of the eyes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the carrots thoroughly. It is most convenient to do this with a brush in order to surely remove particles of sand and adhering earth. Rub the carrots into the middle grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and place on fire. When the oil is hot, add chopped onions and grated carrots. Fry for a few minutes. Usually this takes 2-3 minutes, but it all depends on the power of the stove.

6. STEP 6

   

   At this time, wash the bell pepper. Cut it in half, free from partitions and seeds. Use any pepper color you like best. Cut into cubes and add to the pan. Stir and fry for another 4 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Carefully transfer the finished frying into a pan with almost ready potatoes. Stir. Add bay leaf. I advise you to rinse the bay leaf under running water to remove dust from it.

8. STEP 8

   

   Open a jar of sprats. Carefully, try not to damage the fish, place it in the soup. I do not recommend adding sprat oil to the soup, as this will make it too greasy. However, follow your own taste and preferences.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bring the soup to a boil, add salt, reduce heat and cover with a lid. Cook for 5 minutes and turn off. Add coriander, dill, green onions, stir. This seasoning and herbs are most suitable for this soup. You choose the greens that you like best. Be sure to wash the greens before eating, because there is always a lot of dirt and dust invisible to the eye.

10. STEP 10

    

    I advise you to add greens to the soup after turning off the heat in order to preserve all the flavor. Let the soup brew under a closed lid for 10 minutes and serve for lunch. Bon appetit!
