Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook fish soup from crucian carp fish soup? First of all, prepare the fish. It is better to use freshly caught crucian carp; the soup with them turns out excellent. The amount of fish can be reduced or increased to taste. If you have them frozen, defrost them in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the crucian carp from scales and remove the gills. If the gills are not removed, the broth in the soup will be bitter.

Step 3

Step 3
Prepare the rest of the ingredients you will need for the fish soup. Take carrots and onions that are not very large in size. Adjust the amount of potatoes depending on the desired thickness of the soup.

Cut large crucian carp into portions, leave small fish whole. Place the crucian carp in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place the fish over high heat.

Reduce the flame and cook the fish over low heat until cooked. The time depends on the size of the crucian carp (I cooked for about 10 minutes). Remove the finished fish from the pan with a slotted spoon.

Strain the broth through a sieve or cheesecloth. This must be done in order to remove seeds or small scales.

Step 10
