CARP FISH SOUP

Fish soup is one of the healthiest and tastiest soups in Macedonia. You can find good fish soup as well as good fresh fish in all fish restaurants that are situated by our beautiful lakes, Ohrid, Prespa or Dojran lake. I made this soup with Prespa carp fish for the first time. In combination with home made garlic makalo and homemade bread, oh yeah, that's food heaven.
 Ingredients:
  • 200-300 g of fish
  • 1 larger carrot
  • 1 smaller parsnip
  • 1 celery root with the green part
  • soup noodles
  • parsley
  • vegetable seasoning, black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 egg yolk
  • water as needed, about 2 liters
Preparation:
  1. First put the cleaned fish in boiling water with the cleaned vegetables (carrot, parsnip and celery). 
  2. After about 40 minutes, remove the vegetables and put fish in another plate. Let them cool slightly, and during that time put the noodles in the broth to boil. 
  3. Chop the carrot, squeeze parsnip and celery through a mesh drainer and return to the broth
  4. Clean the fish and return it sliced into the broth.
  5.  Add spices to taste, and whisk 1 or 2 tablespoons of flour in cold water, depending on how much liquid you have and add 1 egg yolk. Stir well and add this mixture to the broth with constant stirring. Let cook for a few more minutes.
  6. Serve hot and sprinkle fresh parsley directly into the plates.
