Description
A comforting Finnish soup featuring tender salmon, earthy potatoes, sweet carrots, and fresh dill in a creamy broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin-on
- 2 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced
- 2 large carrots, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 4 cups fish broth
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots, stirring gently for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the fish broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Incorporate the cubed salmon and cream, simmer gently for about 10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
- Stir in the freshly chopped dill just before serving.
Notes
Allow the soup to simmer gently to maintain creamy clarity. Leftover soup tastes even better the next day as flavors meld.
