amazing fish soup!

hello everyone! lets make a fish soup!

To make a nice fish soup it's not an easy thing. first of all you have to like fish!
If you do so, take some fresh fish from the market like halibut, snapper, grouper, or cod.  I prefer Red Snapper.

(snapper)

If you are lucky you might find the fish clean of bones or skin otherwise you will do it yourself .

per 4 persons you need :

4-6 fish fillet
3-4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of chopped celery
2-3 medium potatoes
4 medium carrots
2 medium onions
fresh lemon juice ( 2 lemons)

2 egg yolks

salt and pepper

We clean the fish and bring to boil in an 18/10 soup pot with the olive oil for at least 8-10 minutes.
Remove the fish and strain the broth.  Use this broth to boil the veggies that we cut in cubes. Season with salt and pepper as you wish .. After the veggies are ready remove them from the broth. Add in the broth 2-3 tablespoons of white rice [like jasmine or basmati] 8-10 minutes until soft. When the rice is ready reduce flame to off.  Use a large mixing bowl and whip well the egg yolks and the lemon juice with a wire whisk. Slowly add cup by cup [about half] the hot broth into the egg mix in the mixing bowl, continuously stirring. When the egg mix is hot enough we pour it into the pot with the rest of the soup. Keep the lid on for 5-7 minutes [fire off]. Serve the soup in bowls, veggies and fish on a separate plate.

 make a homemade mayo:

2-3 egg yolks lemon juice
a teaspoon of mustard(powder),
canola or sun flower oil or canola

Use a blender and start with the egg yolks-1 tsp of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of  fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of mustard powder and last add the oil. Have in mind that the more oil the thicker it becomes.


This soup is really delicious and has a lemony taste that I strongly believe will make happy all of you. It is a real traditional Greek soup that we make home frequently...
