Universal soup for lunch. Cheap and cheerful, and most importantly fast. And the soup with canned fish is delicious, original, and looks great on a dinner plate.
Boil 2.5 liters of water. Add potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes.
Peel and wash carrots and onions. Finely dice the onion. Grate carrots on a coarse grater.
Preheat a frying pan. Pour vegetable (butter) oil. Place prepared carrots and onions. Fry, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 2-4 minutes.
Open a jar of canned fish.
Open a jar of canned peas.
Put canned fish (along with liquid), canned peas (you also need to add 3-4 tablespoons of liquid from a jar of peas), and fry in a saucepan for almost finished potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add bay leaf. You can add peppercorns.
When the soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cook the soup with canned fish and peas until the potatoes are cooked for about 5-7 minutes.
