Finnish trout fish soup with cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the soup. You can use fish or vegetable broth. If there is no broth, replace it with plain water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the trout thoroughly. Cut off the fins. Cut the fish into medium pieces. There should be enough meat in the fish. Therefore, it is better to use fillets. I had a large tail, which was enough for soup. If there is a head of fish, also add it to the soup.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the carrots and cut them into quarters.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. For Finnish fish soup, vegetables should not be cut very large. To put several types of vegetables in one tablespoon during a meal.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the bell pepper from the seeds and stalks and also cut into small pieces.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel the onion. If you want to add onions to the soup in a crushed form, then it needs to be cut into small cubes and spasserovat in olive oil along with bell pepper and carrots (step 7). I add a whole onion (step 9), which I then throw away at the end of cooking.

8. Step 7:

   

   Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Put the bell peppers and carrots. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 7 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add potatoes to the pan with vegetables, stir and fry, stirring, for another 3-4 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour in the broth (or water), lay out the whole onion (if you have not previously added it in sliced form. Bring the soup to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Lay out the prepared pieces of trout. Cook the fish soup over medium heat for another 10 minutes. It should not boil too much. Because with a strong boiling, the fish fillet (especially if you have it without skin) will begin to disintegrate into small pieces.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour in the cream. If there is no cream, you can replace them with milk. Season the soup with salt and pepper and stir. Bring the soup to a boil and cook for another 5 minutes. At the end of cooking, discard the onion.

13. Step 12:

    

    Pour the soup on plates and serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
