But the boring grilled sausages or kebabs are already quite boring. I want to try something new, but no less tasty and simple. One of the dishes that is ideally prepared over an open fire is fish soup. This campfire soup turns out rich, satisfying and with spicy notes of smoke. For fish soup over a fire, it is best to take non-lean fish, and vegetables that are strong and without damage. The following recipe is based on trout fish.
Ingredients:
- 1. Chilled or fresh trout – 800 gr. or one fish;
- 2. Potatoes – 5 pcs.;
- 3. Medium-sized carrots – 4 pcs.;
- 4. Onions – 3 large or 7 small pieces;
- 5. Drinking water – 3 l.;
- 6. Bay leaf;
- 7.Allspice;
- 8. Black peppercorns;
- 9. Salt.
Cooking fish soup on the fire
First you need to prepare all the components, that is, wash and clean them. Pour water into a 5-liter pot and boil over a fire. Then, all the fish is placed in boiling water and cooked for about 20-25 minutes.
After the trout has reached a semi-cooked state, it must be placed on a separate plate so that only fish broth remains in the pan.
Chop the vegetables coarsely so that during a sufficiently long cooking time they do not lose their shape or become overcooked. Also, large cuts will be much more saturated with broth. If you use fresh vegetables in your soup, they will be tender and have a richer flavor.
Next, the potatoes and carrots are sent to the fish broth and cooked over moderate heat until tender, about 30 minutes. If the heat is high, the cooking time for vegetables will be reduced.
Then coarsely chopped onions are added. Cook for another 10 minutes. It is important that the onions do not overcook and become tasteless.
The final step in preparing this dish is to return the trout to the soup. Be sure to add bay leaf, pepper, salt to taste and bring to a boil.
It is recommended to serve trout fish soup hot, garnished with herbs or adding sour cream. Bon appetit!
