Print Friendly Version

Ingredients
- 4 pounds assorted fresh fish
- 1 gallon water
- 2 cupz white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 large onions, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup chopped raw carrots
- 2 large raw potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon imported saffron or 1 tablespoon grated tumeric
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 2 teaspoons MSG

Clean and cut up fish-rock cod, bass, or whatever is available. Put fish, including heads and tails, in large soup kettle and cover with water, about a gallon. Bring to a boil, add white wine and bay leaf. Let simmer until fish falls apart, about 1 1/2 hours. Dispose of bones, fins, heads, etc. Saute onions and celery in butter until they are golden brown. Pour sauteed vegetables into stock, rinsing the pan with some of the stock, and add it to the pot for extra flavour and colour. Add carrots, potatoes, and seasonings. Simmer for another hour, or until vegetables are mushy. Remove soup from heat and force everything through a food mill, or blend the entire soup with the vegetables and fish in a blender, a little at a time. Return to kettle and bring to a boil. Correct seasonings. The soup should have the consistency of a cream soup. Serves 8 - 10.
