Trout soup head and tail

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook fish soup from a trout head? Take the specified products from the list. Try to choose high-quality, flawless, fresh ones. This is especially true for fish. Rinse the vegetables well and peel them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the trout head well under a tap with cold water, remove the gills, and clean the scales from the fish. Rinse again under running water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Transfer the trout to the pan. Fill with water until it covers the fish completely. Place on the stove and bring to a boil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onions, carrots, and green stems into large pieces. Half of the onion can be added with the lower outer scales: the broth will acquire a golden color and additional vitamins. Add the vegetables to the boiling broth, skimming off the foam. Cook for about half an hour if you have a large trout (my head weighs a kilogram).

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the finished fish and vegetables from the broth, cool slightly, and strain the broth. Keep in mind that trout is a very fatty fish, so the broth will also be fatty, it can be divided into 2 servings. I diluted the finished broth with water by half, pouring half into another pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes and the other part of the onion into small cubes. Place the vegetables in the broth and cook until half cooked.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the trout flesh from the head and tail. Dip the fish into the fish soup, add spices and cook over low heat until cooked.

8. STEP 8

   

   The fragrant, rich trout soup is ready! Serve with lemon and herbs.

There is also a version of trout fish soup with millet, which is also delicious.

Trout soup is one of my favorite dishes. I liked this recipe for its simplicity, the preparation steps are well shown. I did everything exactly, only I didn’t dilute the broth, I love this concentration. The taste was amazing, my family also appreciated it. At the end, I added a little tomato and a few slices of frozen bell pepper for a brighter taste and, of course, greens, a minute and turned off the heat. This kind of fish soup is worthy of your dinner, you can treat it to guests, I think everyone will like it. Thanks to the author for the wonderful recipe. I ate two plates at once.

The taste of the soup was incredible. The richness of the broth along with the small amount of ingredients makes it tasty and light. I prepared this soup for the first time and followed the recipe step by step. The result exceeded all my and my husband's expectations. No matter how much you eat this soup, you want more. Unlike the advice in the recipe, I did not divide the broth into 2 portions, despite the fact that it seems that there is a lot of fish oil floating in the soup, the broth itself does not feel greasy (you can see it in the photo). Moreover, fish oil is beneficial. Also, it turned out to be a godsend for me to add parsley stems to the broth, this makes its taste more rich. Usually, I prepare broths simply with the addition of carrots and onions. So I’ll take note of this technique, I think it’s also suitable for chicken soups. Instead of half a carrot, I added a whole and half a large onion. I didn’t understand why I should strain the broth, so I didn’t do it; overall, it turned out to be quite transparent. And instead of peppercorns I used ground black pepper. The soup itself was prepared from frozen trout, in its entirety it was 3-4 kg, so the head is not very large, and in addition to the head and tail, I added fins, bellies, and a little fillet to prepare the soup, so that in the end I got more pieces of fish. Because after boiling and cutting the cooked parts of the fish, there is not so much finished meat. Herbs and lemon go great in this dish. Although, I tried the combination of soup with lemon on about the 3rd plate. My husband liked it immediately. The dish is simple, prepared quite quickly and with pleasure, unlike other soups. Delicious and healthy soup!
