Bergens Fiskesuppe (Bergen Fish Soup)

1. 1

   In a large stockpot, combine stock, carrots, parsnips and fish. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. As soon as the soup reaches the boil, lower the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the leeks and simmer 2 or 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat, lift out the fish with a slotted spoon and set aside on a platter.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with a wire whisk; then beat in about 1/2 cup of hot soup, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pour this back into the soup in a thin stream, beating continuously with a wire whisk.

4. 4

   With a fork, separate the fish into flakes and add it to the soup. Season with salt and pepper and reheat, but do not let the soup boil.

5. 5

   To serve, ladle the soup into individual bowls and spinkle with chopped parsley. If desired, garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon sour cream.
