Pike soup in a multicooker
Description
A hearty first course. The dish turns out very aromatic and tasty, but you can enhance its flavor even more by adding, 5 minutes before the end of cooking, along with hot chili pepper, crushed garlic cloves or chopped garlic scapes. Keep in mind that such a spicy dish is suitable only for adults.

Prepare the necessary ingredients. Clean the pike in advance, remove the scales, gut it, and thoroughly rinse inside and outside. Do not remove the head and tail—they are needed for making fish soup. Optionally, you may remove the gills and eyes.
