Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Scale the pike and remove the entrails, take out the gills from the head, and rinse thoroughly. Cut the fish into pieces — for the soup, the main parts are the head, tail, and belly fins (these are fatty). Peel the potatoes, onion, and carrots, then rinse them.

Place the pieces of pike into a pot or cauldron. If desired, you can cut them into smaller pieces—they will cook faster.
