Fisherman's fish soup
4 servings
40 minutes
Fisherman's soup (Uha) is a warm and comforting dish born in the camping conditions of Russian fishermen. Its taste is harmonious: tender red fish infused with the aroma of bay leaves and black pepper combines with a rich vegetable broth. The added lemon gives a slight tang, while fresh dill completes the picture with a delicate green freshness. Uha is nutritious, light, and easily digestible, making it ideal for an outdoor lunch. Traditionally cooked over a fire, it retains the same heartfelt flavor at home. This soup is not just food; it's true Russian hospitality on a plate.
