River fish soup

Fish soup (ukha) is a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, loved since ancient times. This hearty and aromatic soup symbolizes the simplicity and warmth of campfire cooking. Large pieces of fresh fish are boiled whole with potatoes and onions, enriching the broth with depth of flavor. The addition of vodka gives it a special clarity, while herbs reveal the freshness of greens. A unique feature is the smoldering log from the fire that imparts a light smoky hue to the dish, inviting one to feel the atmosphere of nature. The taste of ukha is delicate and rich with a slight peppery spiciness, perfectly complemented by rye bread and leisurely conversation by the fire. This dish is not only nourishing but also creates warm memories of unity with nature.
