Instructions
Step 1
Cooking fish soup begins with processing the head of the salmon. To do this, rinse it thoroughly and remove the gills. If you have a tail and bellies left when cutting fish, use them for soup. They give a good broth, make the broth richer.
Step 2
Put a pot of water on the fire and bring it to a boil, then put the salmon head in it. Boil it for 30 minutes. While the fish is cooking, peel the onion and chop it finely. Peel and cut the potatoes into medium cubes.
Step 3
Chop half a bunch of dill and parsley finely. Place chopped onions, herbs and potatoes in a deep saucepan. Chop the remaining onions and carrots into small cubes for frying. After half an hour has passed, remove the salmon head from the pan and strain the broth. Season with salt to taste and reduce heat to keep the soup from boiling.
Step 4
Fry chopped carrots and onions in vegetable oil until golden brown. Do not overcook and burn them, otherwise the taste of the dish will be spoiled. At the end of frying, sprinkle vegetables with ground pepper and stir well.
Step 5
Heat under the fish stock and let it simmer. Put onions, potatoes and herbs in it. Cook vegetables until half cooked (about 15 minutes). Once the potatoes are half cooked, transfer the salmon head to the pot. Bring the fish soup to a boil, add bay leaf and allspice. Lay out the cooked fry, then boil for another 10 minutes. Add 50 grams of vodka at the end. Let the ear seethe a little (3 minutes), during this time, finely chop the remaining greens. Pour the prepared fish soup into deep bowls and garnish with herbs.
Step 6
For those who like a thicker ear, you can add cobweb noodles to it. Place it in a saucepan 5 minutes before the soup is ready. You should not cook it longer, it will soften and become tasteless.
