Moyva Fish Soup
Description
A hearty first course. Smelt is a type of fish that you can buy, freeze for a long time, and then take from the freezer when needed, thaw and cook. It's inexpensive and always available in stores. The fish soup turns out rich and aromatic, and to make it more filling, we add plenty of different vegetables.
