Ingredients List
- 4 Large mushrooms, sliced
- 2 10 1/2 oz cans beef consomme
- 2 tb Yellow corn meal
- 2 tb Minced parsley
- 1 cl Garlic, crushed
- 1/2 ts Basil
- 1 Onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh ground pepper, dash
- 1/4 ts Salt
- Haddock fillets, 12 oz
- 10 oz Baby lima beans
- 1/3 c Dry sherry (optional)
Directions
Place the mushrooms, consomme, corn meal, parsley, garlic, basil, onion,
pepper and salt in a large saucepan, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Add haddock, lima beans, and sherry and simmer 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally, breaking haddock into bite-sized pieces. Serve hot.
The Iroquois were blessed with clear, cool lakes and sparkling streams, and
both served up an abundance of fish. Fish soup, or u'nega'gei, as the
Iroquois called it, was a favorite. One early recipe is described, "Fish of
any kind is boiled in a pot with a quantity of water. It is then removed
and coarse corn siftings stirred in to make a soup of suitable
consistency." When wild onions and greens were available, they were
usually tossed into the soup pot, adding both color and flavor.
