Cheap & Cheerful Dead Riser Fish Soup.

List of ingredients

Remember to wash foods before using them

pumpkin, yucca, potato, carrot, celery, onion, Sweet pepper and arracacha(is the yellow one between pumpkin and carrot) Also know like celery root.

Funny fat: while I was making the list of ingredients I noticed that I didn't know what was called one of the ingredients in English. in venezuela we know him as "apio" but that means: "celery" I did a search on the internet and found that the name in my country would be "celery criollo" but the real name is arracacha or virraca. native to the Andes and currently cultivated in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Ecuador.

Also you gonna need salt and 3 cloves of garlic and of course, water.

As you noticed, I've already chopped the vegetables in squares. For the photo, forget to put the chopped onion, but that must also be chopped.

The main protagonist of the recipe: the fish. I used red snapper

As you will notice, most of the meat is missing. This is because I had previously prepared fish fillet. With the rest, keep it in the fridge to use in the soup. That's why this soup is so cheap to make. Soon I will give you information about the prices and you will be impressed.

How cheap is this dish?

In Venezuela we are going through an economic crisis that has prices for heights, paradoxically food still have a very low value with respect to international prices.

Our local currency is the sovereign Bolívar (Bs.s). 1 Steem = 155.5Bs.s at the moment of creating this post.

Then the price of the ingredients is as follows:

1kg vegetables: 58Bs.s per kilo value in Steem: 0.38.

Red snapper: buy 4 units. For a price of 500Bs.s value in Steem: 3.22

Garlic, sweet pepper, salt and water: joint price 45Bs.s value in Steem: 0.29

1 kg precooked corn flour: 20Bs.s value in steem: 0.13

-hey wisejg where did that flour come from?-

The flour is to create a companion to the soup called Arepa. Follow the link to see the recipe How to make arepas venezolanas

So when adding all the prices, we have to spend only 4.02 Steem

Fact: And if you consider that the fish were used to prepare another recipe before making this soup. It is very cheap to cook in Venezuela. If we compare it with other countries. But the situation in the interior of the country is different. Since a person with average employment has a monthly salary at the Steem value of: 12.86 based on the value of Steem today.

Time to cook

In approximately 2 liters of water, incorporate all the chopped vegetables. Cover and let cook until soft.

I had not mentioned it before, but you also need a cloth to sift the fish because we do not want the soup to have thorns.

before the vegetables reach full cooking incorporate the bag with the fish.

Cover again and let cook for approximately 15min.

the time it will take you to prepare the whole recipe is about 45min. Peel and chop all the vegetables takes about 20min. and the time for cooking the soup is 35min. That means that the fish is incorporated 10min after adding the vegetables in the pot.

Don't forget the salt
