Muksun fish soup
Description
A hearty first course. To make a rich and very aromatic fish soup, it is advisable to simmer the broth for at least 2.5 hours. This is a fairly simple recipe for cisco fish soup, but you can enhance it with additional spices and aromatic herbs (as well as fresh herbs when serving). This version is perfect for both adults and children.
