Trout uha is a delicate and aromatic soup that is a hallmark of Russian cuisine. This recipe has roots in ancient Russian traditions when fresh fish became the basis for a nutritious and light dish. The broth, rich in flavors of bay leaves, black pepper, and vegetables, gives the uha a subtle, rich taste. Trout is a noble fish with tender meat that becomes soft and juicy after cooking. Trout uha warms you up perfectly, satisfies hunger, and is ideal for a cozy family lunch or festive table. It is traditionally served hot with chopped green onions and dill to enhance its freshness and aroma. This dish is not only tasty but also healthy as it is rich in proteins and beneficial microelements. An ideal choice for lovers of traditional Russian cuisine.
