How to make it

  • Procedure:
  • Peel vegetables and cut into small pieces, and together with salt, bay leaves and peppercorns cook them in 2 qts water till they are almost soft.
  • Make a roux with butter and flour, cook for only a few minutes, leaving it very light.
  • Add paprika and whip 1/2 cup cold water into the roux.
  • Pour roux into the vegetable mixture and bring again to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer. Add fish pieces and fish head, and simmer soup for 10 minutes.
  • Add row and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the vinegar; just before serving stir in the sour cream.
  • Adjust salt and vinegar to your taste.
  • (Note: During Lent most Hungarians eat a lot of fish. There are almost always little bits of fish meat, bones and heads left over and that's when this soup would be a good beginning for a Lenten meal.)
