Ukha (Russian fish soup), sea fish version

Ingredients

• 1.5 kilo of fish (ocean perch, cod, halibut are a good choice, a mixture of different kids of fish is the best choice, though)
• 1.75 litres of water
• 2 onions
• 1 small carrot
• 3 potatoes
• 4 laurel leaves
• 10-12 balls of black pepper
• 1 leek
• 1 parsley root
• 2 tbs chopped dill
• 4-5 stamen of dried saffron
• Salt
• 4 slices of lemon

Cooking

Boil the water, add salt, put in cube-cut potatoes and finely sliced carrots and parsley root, add finely chopped onions and cook for 15 minutes on a medium-slow fire until potatoes are half-ready. Then add all the spices except for dill and leek, and in 3 more minutes put in generously cut chunks of fish. Cook for 8 more minutes, add salt if necessary. Now put in dill and leek and take the soup off the fire, cover it with a lid and let it cool for a few minutes, then throw in the slices of lemon.
