How to cook deliciously - Catfish Soup

1. Stage

Coarsely chop 4 of the catfish. Place in a large saucepan with the ham, chopped onions, herbs, peppercorns, salt, and two quarts of water. Bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes. Pass through a food mill into a clean saucepan.

2. Stage

Fillet the remaining catfish and cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces. Reserve.

3. Stage

Make the beurre manié: Knead the butter and flour together until combined.

4. Stage

Just prior to serving, return the fish broth to the stove and add the fish fillets. Bring just to the simmer and cook gently for one minute. Add the heavy cream and the beurre manié and simmer briefly. Turn the heat off under the soup.

5. Stage

Meanwhile, break up the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Temper the yolks by adding slowly two cups of the soup to the yolks in the bowl, stirring the yolks constantly, and then returning the yolk mixture to the soup.

6. Stage

Serve immediately, garnished with the minced parsley.
