  • 6 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 medium Onion Diced
  • 1/2 Leek Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 medium Carrot Diced
  • 5 cups Stock Fish or chicken, well-seasoned
  • 8 Potatoes Cut in half
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 cup Cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried dill Optional
  • 4 cups All-purpose flour For Rieska
  • 1 teaspoon Salt For Rieska
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder For Rieska
  • 1/2 cup Milk For Rieska

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, leek, and carrot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add stock and potatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add burbot and bay leaf to the pot. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until fish is cooked through.
  • Stir in cream and dill (if using). Remove bay leaf before serving.
  • For Rieska: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add milk and butter and mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface. Cut into wedges or desired shapes. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve the soup hot with warm Rieska.
