Mackerel soup in tomato sauce
Description
Perfect for lunch. You can prepare mackerel soup in tomato sauce at home either simply with potatoes or additionally with rice. The result is a very rich and aromatic soup. Moreover, you can also use spicy tomato sauce in the recipe to add a bit of piquancy. But let's go step by step. 1. First, bring water to a boil in a saucepan and season with salt to taste. 2. Meanwhile, heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet. 3. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. Sauté the onion until translucent. 4. Peel the carrot and chop it (into thin rounds or grate it). Add to the onion and fry for about 3 minutes. 5. Add rice to the boiling water. 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Add to the rice. 7. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the pot and cook until the potatoes are tender. For flavor, bay leaf is used here, but you can enhance this simple mackerel tomato soup recipe with aromatic herbs or any spices you like. 8. Add the can of canned fish, cook for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat. 9. Chop the fresh herbs, add to the soup, cover with a lid, and let it steep for another 10–15 minutes. That's it—your hearty, no-fuss lunch is ready to serve. Ladle into bowls and enjoy.
