Sea bass soup

Prepare the ingredients we need.

Peel the potatoes, and rinse the peeled tubers under a stream of cool water. After washing, cut them into small cubes. Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife.

Pour a little water into a pot, about 1.5 l, add all the chopped potatoes and put it on to heat. Immediately salt to taste.

After the water with potatoes boils, add the chopped onion. Cook the potatoes with the onion until half cooked, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, we deal with our fish. Since sea bass has very sharp fins, the first thing to do is to carefully cut off all the spines with kitchen scissors. Typically, sea bass is sold without a head and already gutted. We only need to remove the scales from the carcass and remove the dark membrane inside the fish's belly. Rinse the processed carcasses thoroughly with cool water and cut them into small pieces.

Add the pieces of sea bass to the pot with potatoes.

Next, add the bay leaves and pepper to the soup, and wait for the broth to boil. Remove the foam from the top of the soup, reduce the heat, and cook the sea bass with the potatoes for 8 minutes.

Add part of the herbs, leaving the other part for serving. Turn off the heat under the pot. Let the soup steep for a few minutes. Homemade sea bass soup is ready.

Now the soup can be served in plates. Finely chop the remaining herbs with a knife and serve them in a separate bowl, so everyone can add herbs to their plates to taste. That is how a delicious, hearty, and aromatic first course turned out. Enjoy your meal!
