In my family house on Christmas Eve we have always eaten a modest breakfast and later the adults didn't eat anything till dinner. For the children we prepared fish soup with carp, batter dumplings and carrots. My children are already big enough that they don't need an extra meal anymore. They wait more or less patiently until dinner, which starts (except of course for wishes) with mushroom soup or borscht. For people that don't like any of these soups, I have an offer of mild dill fish soup. You can add to it any fish. I add zander and cod, but it will be awesome with carp and salmon too.

Ingredients:
750g of fish without skin and bones
2 carrots
1 parsley root
1 stick of celery
a piece of leek
1 clove of garlic
1 shallot
150ml of 30% sweet cream
1 teaspoon of butter
1l of vegetable or fish bouillon
1 bunch of dill
salt and pepper

Dice the shallot and garlic. Cube the carrots and parsley root. Slice the leek and celery. Melt the butter in a pan. Add the shallot and garlic and fry for a while. Add the carrot, parsley root, celery and leek and fry for 3-4 minutes. Pour in the bouillon and boil for 15 minutes. Add the cubed fish. Boil on a low heat for 5-7 minutes. Add the sweet cream, spice it up with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat. Add the chopped dill. Serve with slices of toast.

Enjoy your meal!
