Six Ingredient Tasty Fish Soup

Ever seen the watery soups that they say are full of flavour?  Well this is one of those - and it’s so easy to make.

I like fish but never knew how to make it tasty.

Ingredients (to serve three people).

300 grams of white fish.

2 bunches of spring onions, chopped.  Use almost all of the onion.

1 clam stock cube (you can buy this from your local Chinese supermarket or online costing around £1.00 for 6 cubes.)

1 litre of cold water.

Splash of Sesame oil.

4 slices of ginger (each about as big as a 50p piece.  Discard these afterwards.)

Black pepper

Preparation

Put the cold water in a pan and place the 4 pieces of ginger in it.  Bring it to the boil.

If your fish is frozen, add it now.  If fresh, leave it until later.  I personally can’t tell the difference.

Put the chopped spring onions in a separate bowl.  Sprinkle the sesame oil over the onions and mix.  Add a sprinkle of black pepper.

Crumble your clam stock cube into the boiled liquid.  (Now, add the fish if using fresh.)

Add all of the chopped spring onion mix.  

Turn off the heat, cover with a lid and leave.

Remove the ginger unless you like it

You can add peas, sugar snaps, mangetout, red peppers, sweet corn - in fact any small vegetable will help the taste.

Serve.

Note: The Chinese clam stock cube contains salt so don't add any more.  Also, if you find that half a cube is acceptable, use only the half in order to reduce the salt in the soup.
