Preparation: Step 1
The broth for fish soup with couscous can be cooked in advance or before cooking. To do this, dip the washed fish fillet in water (about 1.5 liters), add bay leaves, salt and spices for soup or fish soup, or a spice mixture for fish. Boil the fish until tender. Since I am preparing this soup for a child, I always boil the fish in advance and touch it with my fingers for the presence of small bones, and filter the broth itself. You can use any fish you like. I have this pike perch.
Strain the broth into another saucepan, add so much clean water to make 2.5 liters.
While the broth is boiling, peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Add to soup.
In the meantime, you need to prepare the vegetables. Peel and grate the carrots, finely chop the onion, finely chop the pepper. Heat the vegetable oil, fry the onion on it first until transparent,add carrots and peppers and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Disassemble the fish fillet and remove the bones.
Add fish and vegetables to the soup, season with salt and spices to taste. Cook fish soup for another 5-7 minutes. When the potatoes are ready, add the couscous and turn off the soup. Cover and let the soup steep for about 10 minutes.
Serve hot fish soup with couscous. Bon Appetit!
