Bubala's Lox And Potato Soup Recipe
- 1 lrg Onion, finely diced
- 4 Tbsp. Margarine
- 1 quart Lowfat milk
- 4 lrg Potatoes, peeled and diced into small pcs
- 6 ounce Lox or possibly Nova Scotia salmon, cut into small pcs
- 2 x Wings of the lox, if available*
- 1/2 tsp White pepper
- One of the rare Jewish fish soups
- Polushkin Robbins
- In a 3-qt saucepan, saute/fry the onion in margarine till it is soft but not brown.
- Add in lowfat milk, potatoes, lox, wings of lox (if used) and pepper.
- Simmer till potatoes are very soft, about 30 min.
- Make sure the soup does not boil.
- Remove from heat and taste for seasoning.
- Remove wings of lox, pick away any cooked lox and place in soup, and throw away the wings.
- Taste for seasoning.
- If the lox was not salty, the soup may need some salt.
- *If you are buying your lox from a deli where they slice it fresh, ask to but the wings, that are usually discarded.
- They are the large fins which are cut away to allow for easier slicing.
- Advice from Mama: I'm against violence in cooking in general, but most soups and stews in particular should never be cooked at a violent boil.
- A gentle simmer is what's needed for the soup ingredients to develop a full flavor without losing their texture and integrity.
- Lowfat milk should never be boiled because it will foam up and boil over and make a mess and a smell you will not believe.
- Fish, too, should always be cooked on a gentle heat.
- So keep your heat low sufficient for the liquid to cook at the gentlest simmer.
