This Ukha (Russian Fish Soup) recipe takes me right back to my youth. This was one of my favorite childhood meals. My Russian grandmother used to make it for me whenever I’d visit her and it has so many happy memories for me. I am so happy to share this ukha fish soup recipe with you now.

To make this ukha Russian fish soup recipe, start by making a fish stock using a fish bone skeleton with head and tail attached. Strain the stock and discard the fish bones. Cook potatoes and bay leaves in the stock. As they cook, chop the fish into 2-inch cubed pieces. If the fish chunks are too small, they will fall apart. Add a load of chopped dill and season to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and/or parsley.

Valery Sevic

Flavorful and perfect for a maincourse because of how filling it is.

Micaela Vonkaenel

My kids aren't a fan sadly so i'd say its not too kid friendly since most kids dont eat fish but its pretty good for a dinner with some wine.

Asha Shomer

Not bad but i think it needs a little bit more spices or some sort of creamy sauce for the fish because its very bland in my opinion.

Leela Maltby

Takes so long to boil this..it's good but needs a lot of patience/time.

Ailani Zenker
