Sturgeon soup

Sturgeon  soup

This a version of old Ukrainian, Russian soup called "Ukha"

Once in a while I have a luck to get one of those beautiful fishes. It's big fat and wonderful. Actually, there is not much you have to do to it. Just let it shine by itself. The main word here is fish FAT!

I cut it in pieces and put in a boiling pan with lot's of water, with an large onion, carrot, 2-3 celery sticks, 10-15 black pepper corns, 5-6 dry laurel leaves  and some salt.

Let it simmer for an hour and a half may be two. Do not let it boil rapidly, because the fish stock will become muddy. Check when the fish is done. Remove the fish, filter the fish stock, check for salt

Serve pieces of fish with carrot and parsley.

It is wonderful on a cold day


Enjoy.
