This rich and flavorful Carp Soup is a nourishing dish that combines the natural sweetness of fresh carp with aromatic ginger, garlic, and scallions for a deeply satisfying broth. The secret to its milky-white, umami-packed soup lies in lightly frying the fish first, locking in its juices before simmering with boiling water, ginger, and garlic. A touch of sugar enhances the natural flavors, while vibrant wolfberries add a subtle sweetness and pop of color. Perfect for cold days or as a revitalizing meal, this soup is both simple to prepare and deeply comforting. The tender fish and fragrant broth make it a standout dish that’s as delicious as it is wholesome. Serve hot for a soul-warming experience!

Step 2
Second, heat oil in a pot to 70% heat, then add the carp and fry both sides until the surface is lightly browned (to fully extract the fish’s natural juices, the fish is cut in the middle, although this may affect its appearance, the fish soup will be more flavorful).

Step 3
Third, add an appropriate amount of boiling water to the pot, making sure the water level is even with the fish, then add ginger threads and garlic slices, cover the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat for 5 minutes. At this point, the soup has started to form and the broth is a milky white color. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, add an appropriate amount of salt, a small amount of sugar, and sprinkle in wolfberries and scallions.
