Cod fish soup

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Pour cold water into a saucepan and put it on fire. Wash the chilled or thawed cod fillet without skin and cut into pieces about five centimeters in length. Immediately put the fish in a saucepan, medium heat. Cook the broth for twenty minutes after the water boils. You can cover it with a lid.

2. Step 2:

   

   Foam will form in the pan during cooking. It is better to remove it with a cooking spatula so that the broth is not too cloudy afterwards.

3. Step 3:

   

   When the fish is cooked, it must be removed from the broth with a slotted spoon, and the broth itself is filtered through a sieve with small holes. So the broth will get rid of the suspension of a large fraction, and more is unnecessary here, because it is not aspic, but soup. Disassemble the cod into portions and remove all bones, if any. Put the fish aside for now.

5. Step 4:

   

   Peel and finely chop the onion. If the onion is poorly cleaned, it can be soaked for five minutes in warm water. The husk will get wet and peel the onion will not be any problems.

6. Step 5:

   

   Wash and peel carrots and potatoes. Cut the vegetables into medium-sized pieces. Together with the onion, transfer the vegetables to the broth and cook until tender for about twenty minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   After this time, send the cod to the pan. Add salt and pepper to the soup to taste and add bay leaf. After boiling, cook the soup for another five minutes. Then remove the bay leaf. The soup is ready to serve.
