Fish Guts Soup Surprise

1In a large pot, combine fish guts (1 lb) and water (2 cups). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes to create a flavorful broth.

2Add chopped onion (1), minced garlic (2 cloves), sliced carrot (1), chopped celery, diced potato (1), bay leaf (1), thyme (½ tsp), and paprika (½ tsp) to the pot. Stir well and simmer for an additional 20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

3Remove the bay leaf (1) from the soup. Stir in heavy cream (¼ cup) and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken the soup.

4Serve the Fish Guts (1 lb) Soup Surprise hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a delightful presentation.
