Step cooking
- For cooking fish soup you can use any red fish - salmon, trout, pink salmon, chum salmon. But today we will cook from the seal. You can use any of your choice. To do this, you can buy a whole fish or separately fillets and ridges. Be careful at the time of purchase. Choose fresh fish with a pleasant smell. If you buy a frozen product, pay attention to the expiration date. If the fish is covered with a thick layer of ice, then it was frozen several times, it is unsuitable for consumption.
- First, we separate the fish fillet from the bone. Use a sharp meat knife to do everything as quickly and efficiently as possible.
- Then we separate the skin from the pulp. We will use skin and bones to prepare the broth, and we will deal with the pulp a little later.
- Fill bones, ridges and skin with 1 liter of water. We send to the fire, after boiling, remove the foam that has appeared, boil the fish for 10 minutes. Then add 2 bay leaves, 3-4 peas of black pepper, salt to taste, leave to boil for another 10 minutes.
- While the broth is being cooked, we remove the remaining small bones from the fish pulp, cut the fillet into cubes about 2.5 cm and send it to the refrigerator on demand.
- Now let's take care of the vegetables. Onions, carrots and potatoes must be peeled, washed and chopped. Cut the onion into small cubes.
- Grate carrots or cut with a knife into small strips.
- We cut the potatoes with approximately the same cubes as fish fillet - 2.5 cm.
- We remove fish trimmings from the finished broth, filter it to make it clean and transparent. You can strain through a sieve or gauze, folded 2-3 times.
- Already strained broth again sent to the fire, after boiling add chopped vegetables - onions, potatoes, carrots. After boiling the broth with vegetables, make the fire small and boil for 15 minutes.
- Then add the sliced fish fillet and cream, mix, cook for another 7 minutes on low heat. If the soup turned out to be very thick, add boiled water to it, dilute the dish to the desired consistency. We try the ear for salt. If necessary, add, we can add spices at our discretion.
- When serving each, add chopped parsley to the portioned plate. Serve portioned white bread or crackers in addition. It is better to cook crackers yourself, so that they turn out to be as useful as possible without various preservatives. You can make toast with a toaster or cut white bread into large cubes and dry in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
