Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]
Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Peel your potato[es], then chop into small bite-sized cubes

Boil a kettle
Heat a pot with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion and pepper strips with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until beginning to soften
Once softened, transfer the softened pepper to a bowl with half the softened onion and set aside for later

Return the pot with the remaining softened onion to a medium heat and add the chopped potato and chopped garlic with your tomato paste, ground paprika and 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] sugar and cook for 1-2 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add your vegetable stock mix and 700ml [910ml] [1.2L] boiled water and cook, covered, for 18-20 min or until the potato is fork-tender

Meanwhile, chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Pat your basa fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper, then chop into large, bite-sized pieces

Once the potato is tender, remove the pot from the heat and blitz until smooth with a (stick) blender – this is your Hungarian-style smoky soup base

Return the Hungarian-style smoky soup base to a bring to a boil over a high heat
Add the chopped basa, the reserved onion & pepper to the pot with a pinch of salt and pepper and once boiling, reduce to heat to medium and cook for 4-5 min or until cooked through – this is your Hungarian-style smoky basa soup
Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half and place in the toaster for 2-3 min or until toasted
Once toasted, spread a knob of butter on each toasted ciabatta half

Serve the Hungarian-style smoky basa soup and top with a dollop of your soured cream and sprinkle with the chopped parsley
Season with a good grind of pepper and serve the buttered ciabatta to the side
Enjoy!
