Tips

• Serve the soup with black rye bread. Finnish cuisine is famous for a variety of rye bread, but black is preferred.
• Make sure that fish and vegetables are always fresh.
• For a thicker consistency of soup, you can add 1 cream cheese to it.
• If you use defrosted fish for cooking, then remember that you need to defrost it correctly. In about 5-6 hours, remove the fish from the freezer section and leave it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator - the fish will thaw without loss and gradually.
• To enhance the taste of vegetables in the soup, they can be fried in any oil in a pan. You can take any oil: sesame, hemp, peanut.
