Green soup with hake is a dish that embodies the freshness of Russian cuisine. Its history traces back to traditional soups, but instead of the usual cabbage, sorrel reigns here, giving the soup a light sourness and a spring note. The tender hake fillet combined with potatoes and aromatic herbs creates a harmony of flavors – the tenderness of the fish, the richness of the broth, and the pleasant acidity of the greens. The dish is not only nutritious but also light, making it perfect for a summer table. It warms in winter and refreshes in summer, while serving it with half an egg makes it even more appetizing. Hake soup is a celebration of simple yet exquisite gastronomy that fills the home with comfort and warmth.
