– from time to time, instead of fresh dill, use dried dill or replace it with parsley, or add two types of herbs at once, and chicken broth can be a candidate for clean water;
– if you are not going to prepare lek separately for the fish soup, then add a whole, unpeeled but washed head of garlic to the broth along with pieces of chopped fish; this will make the fish soup the most fragrant;
– the recipe specifies a traditional set of spices, but you can season the dish with others, for example, turmeric for color, reddish pepper for spiciness, or allspice for a richer flavor.
