Fish soup with vegetables
Usually this soup is prepared from the head of silver carp, but other parts of the fish can be added if desired. First, cook the fish and then cook the fish soup in this broth. To make the soup thicker, add millet to it. To prepare for 2 servings we will need the following ingredients:
- Silver carp head, tail and fins
- Onion - 1 pc.
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Potatoes - 4 medium sized pieces
- Water - 2 l.
- Parsley and dill - a bunch each
- Millet - 1/3 cup
- Bay leaf - 2 pcs.
- Salt - to taste
- Black peppercorns - 6 pcs.
First, prepare the necessary ingredients and we will begin.
Step 1. First you need to prepare the broth. To do this, take an enamel pan and place the head of the silver carp there, after removing the gills, tail and fins. Add salt and put on fire. After the water boils, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 2. In the meantime, we will prepare other ingredients for our soup. Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut the carrots into thin slices and the potatoes into strips.
Step 3. When the broth is ready, remove it from the heat. Remove the fish and strain through a sieve. We will use this broth to prepare our soup.
Step 4. Place the strained broth back on the heat and bring to a boil. Then add millet. Mix well so that the cereal does not stick to the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5. Add chopped carrots and potatoes.
Step 6. My family doesn't like boiled onions in soup, so I add a whole onion to add flavor. But if you wish, you can cut the onion into half rings and add to the soup. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
Step 7. 5 minutes before complete cooking, add pepper and bay leaf. Take out the onion, if you put it in whole, and throw it away.
Step 7. Let the finished soup brew under the lid. We take plates, put pieces of fish, finely chopped greens and pour our soup. Bon appetit!
