Herring soup

Description

A hearty first course. Of course, real ukha is traditionally cooked in a cauldron over a fire, and certainly not made from herring. What I'm offering you is rather a budget-friendly, quick, and simple recipe for herring soup suitable for a home-cooked meal. It turns out very tasty, but be careful with salt—the herring itself is quite salty, so don't over-salt the dish! I'm sure you'll succeed, especially now that you know how. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
