Fish Soup, also known as Ukha or in Russian “Уха”, is a very popular soup in Russian culture. In most cases, you’ll see people using fish with bones or even a fish head, I know, pretty gross. This is probably the reason why my husband seemed to dislike this soup.

Fish Soup aka Ukha in a bowl

Recently, we’ve visited one of my friends, where her husband made this salmon soup and got us hooked. I craved it all week and couldn’t wait until I made it. Tim was going for seconds and our boys loved it. The best part is that there was no bones in it. This is our new staple soup – loving, loving it!!
