Fish soup

6 servings

45 minutes

Fish soup is a true embodiment of Russian culinary tradition, a simple and soulful dish that warms on cold evenings. Its history roots in peasant life where fresh fish from the nearby river became the basis for a hearty and aromatic treat. Tender hake fillet soaked in rich fish broth combines with soft potato pieces, sweet carrots, and spicy onions. The seasoning for fish adds special expressiveness to the taste while sour cream contributes tenderness and a slight tanginess. The finishing touch is fresh parsley that refreshes the flavor and fills the soup with summer aromas. This soup is not only nutritious but also versatile: it is perfect for both everyday dinners and family gatherings where the warmth of home unites everyone at the table.
