After that, strain through a fine sieve, preferably lining the sieve with one or two layers of cheesecloth. Let the broth cool and remove any remaining fat.

In the prepared broth, additionally salted to taste, add large pieces of potatoes and carrots and boil for about fifteen minutes. Then add pieces of fish to the broth and boil for another three minutes. Next, add halved cherry tomatoes. They should be boiled with everything else for another three minutes. The tomatoes should only be slightly warmed, giving a hint of acidity and sweetness to the overall flavor but still remain fresh tomatoes. Pour in vodka.
