Traditiional German Fish Soup

Prepare the vegetables

1. Chop the onion.
2. Peel the carrots. Cut them and the leek lengthwise and slice them into thin slices.
3. Peel the German turnip and cut it into short stripes.

Cook

1. Preheat the butter in a large pot.
2. Add the onion, leek, carrots and German turnip.
3. Fry them on a high heat, constantly turning to develop the roasting aromas.
4. Add the wine and let it evaporate.
5. Add the fish fond and water. Let the vegetables cook for 15 minutes.
6. In the meantime, cut the cod and salmon filets into bite-size stripes. Set them aside.
7. When the vegetables are tender, add the cream and season the soup with salt and lemon juice, if needed.
8. If you like, you can thicken the soup. I add a good amount of Mondamin. But you can thicken the soup with water-starch or water-flour or butter-flour mixture.
9. Turn the heat to medium and add the fish pieces to the soup. Ensure they are covered with the liquid, but don't stir them (because they will likely break). Cover the soup with the lid and let them cook in the soup for eight minutes.
10. In the meantime chop fresh herbs, like parsley or chives.
11. Serve the soup with fresh herbs on the top.
12. What a treat!
