Sweet and Sour Christmas Fish Soup image

I received a package of fresh Lake Winnipeg walleye as a Christmas gift and thought I would do something special with it. Although a quick pan fry is quite special, I thought I would try my new Christmas wok. Loved it!

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
½ lemon, juiced
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh ginger root
2 parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
1 pound walleye fillets, cut into pieces
¾ pound bean sprouts
5 leaves fresh basil, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 sprig fresh mint leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Stir the chicken stock, water, and lemon juice in a large pot with the onion, garlic, ginger, and parsnips. Season with thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook until the parsnips are tender and the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Stir in the honey to your desired level of sweetness. You don't want the broth too sweet. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and stir in the walleye and bean sprouts. Cook gently for 5 minutes, then add the basil and green onion. Continue cooking until the fish is flaky and opaque, about 5 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with mint leaves to serve.
