Sevruga Fish Soup (Ukha)

Make a royal soup from prized fish. Sevruga makes a wonderful ukha! All you need is a piece of fillet and a handful of vegetables. A bay leaf is fine for seasoning, but go easy so you don't drown out the flavor of the fish. Add a couple of lemon slices to the soup, if you like. (Ukha is a clear Russian-style fish soup; sevruga is a prized sturgeon — any firm white fish works.)

    1. Wash the sevruga fillet thoroughly, put it in a heavy-bottomed pot, and cover with water. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the broth to a boil. Skim off the foam as it cooks, and simmer until done, about 25 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, peel and wash the carrots and onion and cut them into not-too-small cubes. Sauté the vegetables in butter until golden, then cover and let them sweat for 5–7 minutes. 3. Peel and wash the potatoes and cut them into small pieces, as you would for any soup. Lift the fish fillet out of the broth, add the potatoes to the pot, and cook for 20 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, cut the fillet into pieces, and once the potatoes are done, add the fish to the pot along with the sautéed vegetables. Add the bay leaf, ground black pepper, and herbs, and salt to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Enjoy!
