Cook ear from carp at home. Carp Head Ear

19.05.2019 Meat Dishes

In general, my grandmother always said that without a head is an ear, but not to the end. I don’t know, for some reason I remember it very much, and now I’ll definitely cook the ear from the carp’s head, especially since I’ve been accustomed to disassemble and eat the heads from childhood.

I wrote 2 heads in the ingredients, but looked into the freezer and saw that there was only one, but there was a piece of tail and a skeleton. And all this wealth remained after. Well, although I often cook two-headed fish soup, but here's an example for you - you can always get out.

Gills must be removed, as well as the eyes.


We put a pot of water (1.5 liters) on fire.
  While the water is boiling, peel the onions and carrots. I had a piece of leek in my refrigerator, I’ll add it too. If there is parsley root, and float it.

So, the water boiled, and we immediately tossed vegetables, let them boil on low heat for half an hour.


Potatoes. In the classic recipe for fish soup, we see only broth and fish. Vegetables, giving everything to the broth, are simply thrown out. Therefore, we should also toss potatoes along with onions and carrots. But I don’t really like just the broth, so I throw the potatoes later, cutting it into cubes, as for an ordinary soup.


After half an hour, we take out and throw onions with carrots, and we throw fish and all seasonings into the pan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. After adding the potatoes, bring to a boil again and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, making the fire small (the boil should be weak). Do not close the lid, you can only cover a little.

After this time, if you are going to eat the soup right away, add greens (I have fresh frozen) to it, turn it off immediately and let it stand for 5 minutes, stretch with aromas.

If not, then it is better to add greens personally on plates, since the ear with greens does not particularly like to stand, it can turn sour.
  Bon appetit and tasty fish soup from your head!
