What kind of fish to make a budget soup: no need to clean it

A traditional fish soup is called ukha. And this dish is prepared mainly from fresh fish. But if you don't have such a product, you can take an ordinary sardine from a can.

The idea of cooking a delicious sardine soup was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Yulia with the nickname zefirok_for_you.

Ingredients:

• canned sardines - 2 cans of 240 g
• rice - 3 tbsp
• potatoes - 500 g
• carrots - 150 g
• onions - 150 g
• bay leaves - 2-3 pieces
• salt, pepper
• dill
• vegetable oil
• water - 3 liters

Method of preparation:

1. Cut the onion into small cubes.

2. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

3. Pour the oil into the frying pan and add the onion, fry for 3 minutes, stirring.

4. Then add the carrots, stir and fry everything together until soft. When fried, set aside.

5. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and rinse the rice in the same step.

6. Put the potatoes and rice in boiling water, bring to a boil and add salt (add salt carefully, because the canned food is salty). Cook for 15-20 minutes.

7. Add the roast to the pan. Then add the bay leaf and sardine, cook for another 5 minutes and remove from the heat. Sprinkle with greens.
