Pour about 2 liters of water into a pot and add dried spices: carrot, parsley root and celery root, onion, herbs, bay leaf, peppercorns; salt it and put the pot on the fire. After boiling, simmer the broth for about 5-7 minutes. Then add the fish preferably whole with head, bones and fins along with 2 potatoes cut into 2-4 pieces.

Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and mash them into puree; add cream to the puree mix well and set aside. Strain the broth back into the pot and return it to heat.
