Ingredients List
- 2 Carrots
- 2 Parsnips
- 2 md Onions
- 1 sm Celery knob
- 1 ts Salt
- 2 Bay leaves
- 5 Peppercorns, black

Directions
Peel vegetables and cut into small pieces, and together with salt, bay
leaves and peppercorns cook them in 2 qts water till they are almost soft.
Make a roux with butter and flour, cook for only a few minutes, leaving
it very light. Add paprika and whip 1/2 cup cold water into the roux.
Pour roux into the vegetable mixture and bring again to a boil. Reduce
heat to a simmer.
Add fish pieces and fish head, and simmer soup for 10 minutes. Add spawn
and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pour in the vinegar; just before serving stir in the sour cream. Adjust

Note: During Lent most Hungarians eat a lot of fish. There are almost
always little bits of fish meat, bones and heads left over and that's when
this soup would be a good beginning for a Lenten meal.
