Fish Soup aka Ukha
Description
This Fish Soup aka Ukha starts by sautéing diced onion and slicing carrots into half rings, while potatoes are cubed small for quicker cooking. Salmon fillets are cut into bite-size pieces for even cooking. The broth consists of four quarts of boiling water seasoned with salt and ground black pepper, into which rice is added first to cook through and slightly thicken the soup. Onions and carrots are added simultaneously and simmered until tender. Potatoes are introduced next until softened. Salmon is added near the end, simmering briefly until just cooked to maintain its texture and flavor. Finally, fresh chopped parsley and dill are stirred in off the heat to preserve their aroma.
The resulting soup is clear yet nourishing, highlighting tender salmon and simple vegetables in a light broth. It is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh herbs and delicate fish flavor.
