How to cook delicious fish soup at home
It has already been mentioned that even at home you can cook delicious fish soup with a smoky aroma. The most important thing in this dish is the rich and strong broth, which should remain clear. A few more secrets:
- The soup turns out tastier if all the vegetables are cut into large pieces;
- You shouldn’t add too many spices - allspice, fresh herbs, bay leaves will be enough, otherwise you can kill the aroma of the fish;
- The fish soup is cooked exclusively over low heat and with the lid open;
- Do not let the stew boil - in this case, pieces of fish will turn into porridge, and the broth will become cloudy;
- The aroma of a fire will be added to the soup by birch sticks, which are set on fire and stewed in the broth before serving;
- hake does not have an unpleasant aroma, but it is still worth adding a shot of vodka to your ear - this is a tradition;
- when preparing broth, it is advisable to throw in a whole, unpeeled onion to achieve a beautiful golden hue;
- if the broth still darkens, you can lighten it with lemon juice or egg;
- greens are never added during the cooking process - only before serving.
In the ear, the main thing is the broth, therefore, more attention is paid to it. After boiling, the fish must be removed from the pan, as there is a risk that the broth will darken. It must be filtered for two reasons: to prevent bones from getting into the first dish and to get rid of turbidity.

Ingredient Selection
By the way, in fish departments hake is sold in a frozen state: classic “headless” and fillet. You can take both options. But fillet is preferable, since there will be no bones in the finished soup (and there will be no need to strain it first). So, for a three-liter pan we need to take 2 medium hake carcasses (or several fillets), three potatoes (if there is a season, you can take young ones - it will be tastier), a large onion, one carrot, black peppercorns, bay leaf, dill, a little butter, salt.
Fish soup in a slow cooker
In the cold autumn season, no one will refuse a fragrant and rich soup. We invite you to prepare fish soup that will warm you up and give you strength for the whole day. We suggest preparing this soup using a multicooker-pressure cooker, which will simplify and speed up the entire cooking process. This soup can also be easily prepared in a regular saucepan on the stove, but the cooking time will have to be increased slightly. For this soup, it is best to choose fish with a small number of bones so that they do not interfere with eating.
Ingredients for preparing fish soup in a slow cooker (for a 3.5 liter pan):
- water – 2 l (or a little more)
- potatoes – 4-5 pcs. medium size
- carrots – 1 pc.
- onion – 1 pc.
- fish (river, sea) – 500 g
- coarse corn grits - 3 tbsp.
- fresh herbs - 1 bunch
- olive oil – 2 tbsp.
- salt, pepper, fish spice mixture - to taste
Note: in this recipe, a Binatone MUC-2180 multi-pressure cooker with a power of 1300 W was used.
Recipe for making fish soup in a slow cooker:
- First prepare the vegetables. Peel and thoroughly wash the potatoes, onions and carrots.
- Cut all vegetables into small cubes. If you wish, you can also add parsnips or a small amount of celery root to these vegetables; they will make the taste of the fish soup even richer.
- Cut off the fins of the fish (hake was used in this recipe).
- And cut into portions.
- Take a multicooker bowl. Place prepared potatoes, onions and carrots on the bottom. If you're used to frying onions and carrots for soups, you can first fry them in a frying pan or in a slow cooker bowl with a little olive oil, but you can safely skip this step.
- Place fish pieces on top of the vegetables.
- Sprinkle coarse cornmeal on top.
- Add salt, a couple of bay leaves and, if desired, a mixture of fish spices.
- Pour in olive oil and water. By the way, in order for the multicooker-pressure cooker to gain pressure faster, which means the soup will cook faster, immediately pour in boiling water, not cold water.
- Return the saucepan to the slow cooker. Cook the fish soup using the “Broth” or “Soup” mode, time – 20 minutes, pressure – 3.
- While the soup is cooking, wash, dry and finely chop a bunch of your favorite greens.

Cooking process
Peel the potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into pieces, fill them with water and send them to cook. You will need 1.5 liters of water.
Peel the onions and carrots.
Chop onions and carrots. Place the vegetables in the pan with the potatoes. Since we do not fry them in oil, the dish turns out to be dietary and suitable for feeding a child.
We clean the fish, remove the head, entrails, and scales. If possible, remove large bones. The ridge is easily removed if you cut the carcass along it. It is advisable to cut off the fins as well.
Advice
You don't have to defrost the fish completely before adding it to the pan. This makes it more likely that the pieces will remain intact and not boil over.
Be sure to remove the black film that covers the inner cavity of the abdomen. This film gives a bitter taste and spoils the aesthetic appearance of the food. The easiest and fastest way to cook soup is from ready-made fillets purchased in the supermarket.
Cut the fish into portions.
After boiling, add salt to the broth.
10 minutes after boiling, add spices and fish. Cook for another 10 minutes. If you think the soup is too thick, add a little water. After adding water, wait until it boils. Turn off the heat and let the first dish steep under the lid for 5-10 minutes.
Pour the first mixture into plates and sprinkle with herbs. It is advisable to consume it hot. Bon appetit!

Cooking in a slow cooker is sometimes much easier than on the stove. You just need to choose the right mode, taking into account the features of the device. Fish soup in a slow cooker with millet turns out even tastier, because it is cooked under a closed lid. In addition, a certain temperature is maintained inside (usually 90 degrees). Required Products:

- water - 1.5-2 l;

Chop the potatoes into cubes, chop the onion into cubes, and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Peel the bell pepper from the seeds and also cut into squares. Rinse the millet well under running water.
Place all the vegetables and cereals into the multicooker bowl. Place pieces of fish in the middle of the device. Salt and pepper the future soup, add bay leaf. If dried herbs are used, they should be added at this stage. Pour water over the food, set the “Soup” or “Cooking” mode and cook with the lid closed for 45-60 minutes.
After 40-50, you can open the lid and pour in tomato juice. Check the readiness of the potatoes and fish; it may be time to turn off the device. It is recommended to serve hake soup with fresh herbs and white bread.
