INSTRUCTIONS
FISH STOCK
SOUP
FISH STOCK: To prepare fish stock, which will be the base of the soup,
combine the ingredients listed under that heading (above) in a 4 to 6 quart
stock pot. Bring to a boil, partially cover the pot, turn the heat low and
simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a
large bowl, pressing down hard on the vegetables and fish trimmings with
the back of a spoon to extract their juices before discarding them. Wash
the pot and return the strained stock to it. Reduce the stock to about 6
cups by boiling it rapidly, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Restrain
through a fine sieve or through a double thickness of cheesecloth lining a
regular sieve. SOUP: Again return the stock to the pot. Add the carrots,
parsnips and fish. As soon as the soup reaches the boil, lower the heat and
simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add the leeks and simmer 2 or 3
minutes longer. Remove from heat, lift out the fish with a slotted spoon
and set aside on a platter. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with a wire
whisk; then beat in about 1/2 cup of hot soup, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pour
this back into the soup in a thin stream, beating continuously with a wire
whisk. With a fork, separate the fish into flakes and add it to the soup.
Season with sale and pepper and reheat, but do not let the soup boil. To
serve, ladle the soup into individual bowls and spinkle with chopped
parsley. If you like, garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.
