Pike soup

Description

For a more aromatic fish soup, add garlic and fresh herbs, especially green onions and celery stalks. Adjust spices and seasonings to taste. The key is to thoroughly cook the pike and potatoes until fully done. Add tomatoes at the very end, together with onions and herbs. For an adult version, you can enhance the pike soup with 50 ml of good quality vodka—pour it directly into the bowl. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
