Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients for our fish soup. Clean the trout, removing any slime and the fish's innards. Lightly salt the fillets. Place them in a covered dish or cover with something else, and set aside in the refrigerator for a short time.

Step 2

Take water (3–5 liters), or as needed depending on the amount of ingredients, place it over heat, and bring it to a boil. Season the water with salt to taste.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes, cut into medium-sized cubes or to your preferred size, to the boiling water.

Step 4

When the potatoes are nearly cooked, add the finely chopped onion to the pot. Also, add black peppercorns and bay leaf to taste. Cook for about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Take the trout out of the refrigerator. If you have heavily salted it, you can rinse off the excess salt with water. Then, immerse it in our vegetable broth.

Step 6

Cook for 20–30 minutes over medium heat. Then, remove the fish to a separate plate and set it on the table, while ladling the broth into bowls. Add herbs, specifically green onions and dill.
