Ukha is a light and nutritious first course. We don’t have to rack our brains for a long time about how to prepare pike soup, because this dish is prepared quickly and simply, much faster than, for example, fish soup or pike in foil. However, if we have a fairly large fish, then these recipes can be combined, for example, to prepare fish soup from the head of a pike, and bake the carcass in the oven or cook a body from it.
Today my pike is not very big, so I use all of it for fish soup. As a result, I will end up with a rich soup. Fans of fish first courses have probably often observed that often the next day, fish soup stored in the refrigerator becomes jelly-like, reminiscent of jellied meat. This means that the broth was quite rich and rich. In addition to potatoes, millet or pearl barley is often placed in pike fish soup. Barley takes a long time to cook, so I won’t use it.
