Snetkov soup

Snetki is a smelt fish, only dried. You can eat them just like that, you don't even have to clean them, everything literally flies by and you still want to, but if you have the opportunity to cook soup from snacks, you won't regret it. The culinary recipe for their preparation can vary depending on what you have in stock. You can also use buckwheat, you can cook cabbage soup, you can just soup. If you are fasting, then you can eat fish for the Christmas fast, so cook yourself such a soup, only do not use milk, but fry carrots instead.
Soak the dried snettes in water for 2 hours. If you really want to – clean them, for this you need to tear off your head. But I don't advise you, for some reason it seems to me that the soup tastes better this way. Fry the onion and add the snetki to it, continue to fry. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Boil until half cooked in salted water, put the onion with the fish and cook until fully cooked. If you are not fasting, then dilute the flour in the milk and heat it, add it to the soup, let it boil. If you fast, then fry the carrots and add them to the soup. Serve with herbs.
