Ingredients

2 lbs of flaky fish fillets, large chunks - salmon, carp, snapper, etc

(if you bought a whole large fish, use head and tail portions for Uha, and cook the rest as you see fit)

2 tbsp butter

2 yellow onions, diced

3 large carrots, sliced

3 large potatoes, peeled, chunky diced

3 large ripe tomatoes, quartered or a small box of cherry tomatoes pierced with fork

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

6-8 whole allspice

4-5 bay leaves

1 tsp whole coriander seeds

1 tsp caraway seeds (optional - gives a stronger taste)

salt, pepper to taste

fresh parsley

Directions

In a large stock pot, melt butter on the bottom and saute carrots and onions, until onions are translucent.

Pour 8 cups of water over veggies, and add potatoes.

Bring to boil and cook for 20 minutes

Toss in all spices, add salt and pepper to taste

Cook another 2-3 minutes

Reduce heat to low/medium

Carefully lower fish chunks into the soup and simmer for 10 minutes after bringing to boil

Add tomatoes and garlic and cook another 5 minutes or so.

Serve very hot with rye bread, toasted and buttered.

Cooking over low heat ensures soup's clarity.

Thanks so much!! I have a lot of salmon to use up, as my husband fishes fanatically- by the way he has a Russian fishing buddy he goes with who taught me how to prepare/clean the roe. Maybe you can tell me why I can understand him so well but he cannot understand me :)

I will be making this very soon and let you know how it went.
