Salmon soup

The uniqueness of fish soup lies in the fact that it has no analogues in other national cuisines. Fish soup is often called fish soup; this is not entirely correct, since flour, cereals and fried vegetables are not used in its preparation.

I only use salmon tails, heads and trimmings. The rest of the fish.

    I put a pan of water on the stove. While the water is boiling, I rinse the salmon thoroughly. I do not use aluminum utensils to prepare fish soup, since the combination of fishy taste and aluminum creates a metallic taste.

    I always try to keep the broth clear. To do this, I first let the water boil, add salt and only then add the fish.

    After the broth boils, I skim off the foam and add the onions and peppers to the pan. I make sure to turn down the heat.

    I determine the cooking time by the eyes of the fish - they should turn white. The fish takes no more than 20 minutes to cook.

    I peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. I peel the carrots and chop them coarsely. If you have a grater on hand, you can use it.

    I remove the finished fish from the pan, let it cool and separate the meat from the bones. I strain the broth, return it to the pan, add potatoes, carrots and boneless fish. I put a little noble laurel in the pan with the fish soup. Cook until the potatoes are ready.

    I steep the finished treat for about 20 minutes. I put the greens directly into the plates with the fish soup.

In our regions we have to buy salmon. If you can afford it, be sure to make salmon chowder. It will delight you with its unusual taste. If you want a little variety, crack a few raw eggs into a saucepan with boiling fish soup and stir quickly. The result is a satisfying mess.

How to cook fish soup over a fire

Many people are interested in fishing. Especially men who happily spend their free time on the shore of a picturesque body of water.

The most suitable dish for fishing is fish soup cooked from freshly caught fish.

Preparation:

  1. I carefully sort the caught fish. I choose the smallest fish and gut them. I don’t always clean it, but I definitely wash it.
  2. I clean, gut and cut larger fish into pieces.
  3. I make broth from trifles. Before cooking, I put it in cheesecloth and put it in water. The result is a broth, on the basis of which the fish soup is prepared. After preparing the broth, I throw away the small fish.
  4. If there is no gauze, I make the broth in a different way. I cook small fish for about half an hour. Then I remove the cauldron from the heat and wait until the fines sink to the bottom. Then I pour the broth into another bowl.
  5. I put a couple of pieces of large fish into the fish broth and cook until done. I remove the finished fish from the pot and continue to cook the soup.
  6. I send the remaining pieces of fish into the broth along with potatoes, herbs, carrots and onions. If the soup turns out thick, add a little water. This does not affect the taste.
  7. I mix all the ingredients well and boil for about 40 minutes. I focus on the readiness of the vegetables.
  8. During cooking, I often don’t stir it so that the fish doesn’t fall apart and you end up with a runny porridge instead of fish soup.
  9. To prevent the soup from burning, I shake the cauldron periodically. I don’t cover the dishes with a lid, but take water from a spring. As a result, the dish absorbs the aromas of nature, and the taste becomes multifaceted.

When cooking fish soup over a fire, I don’t use dill or parsley. This greenery has a pronounced taste that easily overpowers the aroma of fish.

I decided to end the article with a few tips that will make your fish soup even tastier.

  1. You need to eat the finished fish soup from a pot using wooden spoons.
  2. Fish is the main ingredient. Try to put in as many fish as possible. You shouldn't overdo it with vegetables.
  3. You can safely add salt and pepper to the finished dish. At the very end of cooking the fish soup, you can add a little laurel to the pot. It is recommended to remove it when cooking is complete. Otherwise, the treat will become bitter.
  4. If the company consists mainly of men, add a little and a few coals from the fire to the soup. As a result, the alcohol will soften the bones, and the coal will bring the aroma of the fire, removing unpleasant odors.

Finally, I’ll pay a little attention to spices and seasonings. Most often I use bay leaf, parsley, parsnips, black pepper, dill and green onions. In some cases I add fennel, anise, ginger and saffron.

When choosing spices for fish soup, I am guided by the type of fish. If it is oily, I take more spices. If I cook perch, I don’t add any spices at all.

  2. Dip the cleaned, gutted, cut into pieces bream into the aromatic broth. After a quarter of an hour, add bay leaves, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.
  3. We complete the culinary composition with a glass of vodka, which effectively complements the spicy taste of the prepared bream fish soup.

Since the 18th century this name refers exclusively to liquid hot fish dishes prepared using a certain technology. Classic ukha is a clear, concentrated decoction with the addition of onions, spices and herbs. Potatoes and carrots may also be present. The right fish soup has a rich taste and aroma, and in addition, it is extremely healthy and nutritious. Its preparation does not take much time, but requires compliance with certain rules and knowledge of some subtleties. How to cook fish soup correctly?

First of all, you should understand that there is a difference between fish soup and fish soup. For fish soup, only fresh or live fish is used. If canned, frozen or dried fish is used, the result is fish soup. In addition, as noted earlier, only roots (onions, parsley), sometimes carrots and potatoes, and a lot of herbs and spices are added to the fish soup. No grains are ever added. Fish soup is cooked as usual: any finely chopped vegetables, fried onions, and cereals are used. These are the main differences between fish soup and soup.

Not all types of fish are suitable for classic fish soup; only those whose meat has a delicate, sweetish taste and is sticky are suitable. The best fish for fish soup are carp, whitefish, ruffe and perch. A good profit is also obtained by using asp, carp and rudd. Of course, you can also cook fish soup from other types of fish, but its taste will be different from the traditional one. Roach, mackerel, herring, gudgeon, gobies, sabrefish and bream are not at all suitable for fish soup. But they make a good fish soup.

You can prepare a dish from one type of fish or from several varieties. There are species that cannot be used independently in the ear (silver carp, burbot, catfish). It is first recommended to boil small fish - ruffs and perches, which give the broth viscosity, remove them, strain the broth, and then add pieces of the main type of fish. The same rule applies to fish soup, which is cooked from one valuable type of fish, for example, sterlet, pike perch, or sturgeon. The exception is red fish soup, to which you should not add other types. You should know that small fish can be boiled without removing their scales, but it is necessary to gut them, and the gills of the perches should be removed so that the broth does not have a bitter aftertaste.

A tasty and rich fish soup can be obtained from fresh sea fish: halibut, sea bass, cod, ice fish, grenadier.

  • Before you start preparing fish soup, you need to choose the right utensils. Enameled pans or clay pots are suitable for this. In aluminum or cast iron dishes, food oxidation occurs, and the broth acquires an unpleasant odor and taste.
  • The fish should not be placed in water, but in boiling salted vegetable broth. To prepare it you will need water (2.5-3 liters per 1 kg of fish) and onions (at the rate of 1 head per 1 kg of fish), which are then thrown away. If live fish is used, then other vegetables are not needed. In other cases, coarsely chopped potatoes and whole carrots are added, which are then removed from the broth.
  • A wide range of spices and herbs are used for fish soup. Black peppercorns, bay leaves, dill, parsley (root and herbs) must be present. It is advisable to add leeks and parsnips; for certain types of fish soup, ginger, nutmeg and saffron are used. As a rule, the fattier the fish, the more spices you need to add. However, we must remember that excess spices can overwhelm the taste of the fish and ruin the dish. It is better to put the greens at the very end of cooking or directly on the plate before serving the fish soup.
  • The main condition for obtaining proper and tasty fish soup is to adhere to the cooking time. For freshwater fish it is 10-20 minutes, and for marine species - no more than 15 minutes. The duration of cooking is determined both by the type of fish and its size or the size of the cut pieces. Overcooked fish will turn out tough, and the taste and aroma of the broth will deteriorate. It is very important that the fish soup is cooked in a container without a lid and over moderate heat. Do not allow the broth to boil violently.
  • Often, small fish, as well as bones and heads, are first boiled in vegetable broth. Then they are thrown away, and pieces of fish are prepared in the strained broth, which are directly consumed as food along with the fish soup.
  • The finished fish soup must be removed from the heat and allowed to brew under the lid for at least 10 minutes. You can serve it with black bread, kulebyaka, pies or pies.

Properly cooked fish soup should be aromatic and transparent, should not have a pronounced odor, and the fish should remain juicy and tasty. The given rules are the basis for preparing any type of fish soup. Recipes may offer a variety of additional ingredients, such as using lemon, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc. It all depends on individual taste preferences.

Broth hood

If for some reason it was not possible to obtain a clear broth during the cooking process, you can clarify it. This is not at all difficult to do. You will need the caviar left after gutting the fish. Its quantity is determined at the rate of 2 tbsp. spoons per 1 liter of broth. The caviar is ground with a small amount of cold water until a paste is obtained. After this, the ground caviar is diluted with a glass of cold water and a glass of hot broth, stirred and added to the pan with the broth. After the broth boils, reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Then leave the broth, wait another 10 minutes for the guy to settle to the bottom, and carefully strain.

Features of fishing soup

Fisherman's soup can be considered a unique dish. It has no recipe or preparation rules. Ukha is cooked from all types of live fish that are present in the catch, and it always turns out rich because a large amount of fish is used in relation to the liquid. In addition, there is a fishing tradition of pouring a small amount of vodka into the fish soup, which helps remove the smell of mud from some types of fish and improve the taste of the dish. Ukha cooked over a fire has a unique smoky aroma. It is impossible to cook such broth on the stove.

Someone will say that fish soup is not prepared in the kitchen, and they will be absolutely right. For fish soup you need nature, a fire, a light fog over the water. But it’s not always possible to go out into nature.

The modern world is intense and complex. Everyone is in a hurry, there are a lot of things to do and things to do. And sometimes you want fish soup. In principle, it’s worth making a fish day at home sometimes.

Homemade soup is very useful. Well? Maybe not fish soup, but fish soup, but it’s necessary.

After a successful fishing trip, there are always heads and tails left. This is certainly not salmon soup, but it’s also delicious.

So, homemade soup from the heads, at home in the kitchen. Improvisation.

  3. Peel the carrots and cut into thick slices or simply cut them in half. Throw in the whole celery root (you can add parsley root, but be careful - it gives a little bitterness). Or cut a piece from a large root. Peel the onion and cut it lightly, literally a quarter of the way, crosswise.

    Throw peeled and cut potatoes into 4-6 pieces into boiling water

  6. Cook potatoes for 10-12 minutes. Then put the fish in your ear.

  7. Usually fish are heads and tails, unless they specifically left something better on the ear. We still have pike and pike perch leftovers. Well, sometimes we also buy sets of trout and salmon. And the homemade soup turns out rich.
  8. By the way, if you are preparing fish soup with red fish, you should throw in half a lemon without squeezing it. Then remove the lemon and throw it away.

  12. Add final salt and pepper to taste.
  13. At this stage, you can put pieces of raw good fish in your ear - pike perch, trout, etc. After this fish is cooked, you can put it on a plate for everyone, one piece at a time.

  15. Immediately remove the soup from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Like the highest squeak - you can splash 50 grams of vodka in your ear. But vodka in your ear is in nature. If you are preparing homemade fish soup for your family, you probably shouldn’t do that. In principle, no one forbids simply pouring a glass for those who wish.

    Remove the fish from the fish soup and place it on a separate plate.

  16. Remove the fish from the fish soup and place it on a separate plate. After this, pour the fish soup into plates and eat with fresh bread.

    - 50 gr. vodka for 2 liters of fish soup. What kind of alcohol are we talking about? But the taste is different. Be careful not to get confused!
  • Victoria
    - I wanted fish soup, so I bought a set of salmon head with ribs. I’m cooking this for the second time in my life. I did everything according to the recipe, with spices, and added lemon, and even simmered it a little longer. It turned out delicious, but the question is - could there be a LOT of lemon in the ear? I put in less than half a lemon when cooking, it gave off a pronounced sourness. At the same time, there is not enough fish pulp in the soup, probably not for everyone, but I liked it. The lemon took 25 minutes to cook, is that a lot?
  • Alexander Sivtsov
    - the boiling point of alcohol is about 70 degrees - i.e. There will be no alcohol.
    It's more of a tradition. So both children and mothers can add vodka to fish soup.
  • Vladimir
    - a piece of old lard about half the size of a palm, even less. Add exactly the old, yellowed one during cooking. Then remove it. Neutralizes fish odor
  • Paul
    - Vodka is a must, it narmolises the taste and removes unpleasant odors and tastes from the fish soup. Refers more to the ear made from purchased carp.

Fish soup is the main fishing dish; it is often cooked on fishing trips and river trips. But it turns out well at home, on the stove, in an ordinary pan. The main thing is to take good fish.

What is ukha

Ukha is not just fish soup. More precisely, it is not fish soup at all. The soup is distinguished by a very small amount of vegetables, transparency and richness of the broth. And also a limited amount of spices. That is, in the ear, the first place is given to fish. Everything else is just to emphasize her taste.

What kind of fish to take

The fresher the better. The best fish soup comes from live, freshly caught fish. But not every type of fish can be used for fish soup. The fish needs to be sticky and have a delicate, sweetish taste and aroma. The best are: pike perch, perch, ruff and whitefish, but asp, carp, chub, crucian carp, carp, rudd are also suitable.

Not suitable for fish soup: roach, bream, gudgeon, bleak, roach, ram, herring, mackerel, sabrefish, gobies.

Although fish soup is made primarily from freshwater fish, sea fish can also be used. Suitable: cod, halibut, grenadier, notothenia, ice fish, sea bass.

How many types of fish to take

It is believed that you need at least 2 varieties of fish. But more than 4 is already too much. It is best to choose small and large fish. The fines will give a rich broth, and pieces of large fish will look beautiful in the broth.

Preparing the fish

All fish must be gilled and gutted. You can leave only milk and caviar. It is better to boil freshwater fish with the head, but if the fish is small (and this is great for fish soup), then it is easier to cut off the heads than to remove the gills.

It is also better not to clean small fish. And wrap it in gauze, tie it, boil it, and then remove it all together.

Large fish must be cleaned and cut into large pieces. They are often called "links".

What to add

Usually the fish soup is supplemented with carrots, potatoes, and onions. Vegetables are either boiled whole (carrots and onions) or cut into large pieces.

Live fish soup

This is the most delicious soup; you don’t need anything else for it, except maybe an onion. You don’t even need spices, since live fish has a unique taste that does not need to be emphasized or softened.

What is yushka

This is the name for fish broth, broth, or soup liquid. Yushka should be transparent and rich. Therefore, the fish is placed in cold water. The heads and tails are not removed (the gills must be cut out) - they add a rich taste. But the fins can be trimmed. After boiling, cook the fish over low heat with the lid open.

How to achieve transparency

The best fish soup is with a light transparent broth. So be sure to remove the foam from it after boiling, several times. If the broth has darkened, it can be cleared with whipped egg whites. You need to stir the protein foam into the broth, bring to a boil, then strain.

In the old days they used a caviar guy. If you come across fish with caviar, you can lighten the broth according to old recipes. Grind 1/3 cup of fish roe, pour in ½ cup of cold water and a glass of hot, strained broth. Pour the mixture into the ear and stir. Cover the fish soup with a lid and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, then strain and bring to a boil again.

Spices, herbs, roots

Parsley root, black peppercorns, bay leaf - all the well-known and beloved spices are suitable for fish soup. Sometimes freshwater fish smell like mud, to get rid of the smell you need to add a little lemon juice.

It’s good to add chopped green onions and parsley-dill to the finished fish soup.

And a glass of vodka

It is added if the fish soup is cooked using small fish. This fish gives off a very strong smell of mud as it feeds on it. And vodka takes away the smell perfectly. Moreover, it improves the taste of the fish soup. There is no need to be afraid of alcohol - it instantly evaporates in the hot broth.

In the end

You can add a piece of butter to the soup, cover with a lid and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then place the chopped herbs on plates and pour into the soup.

Triple ear

Step 4. Prepare large fish: clean, gut, cut into large pieces.

Step 5. Place the fish of the second run into the pan. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove the fish from the broth.

Step 6. Peel and coarsely chop the potatoes and place in the soup. Cook for 15 minutes.

Step 7. Place the fish of the third run in the ear. And also bay leaf and peppercorns. Cook until the fish is done. Pour in vodka.
