Finnish Salmon Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 large onion (diced)
• 5 cups fish stock (*see note)
• 2 medium russet potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch pieces *see note)
• 3 carrots (cut into 1/4 inch slices)
• 1/4 cup fresh dill (chopped fine (or 1 tablespoon dried dill))
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1- pound skinless salmon fillet cut into 1-inch chunks

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5-6 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the fish stock, followed by the potatoes, carrots, dill, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to keep a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the cream and stir to combine. Add the salmon filets, stir to combine, then remove from the heat. Let the salmon cook in the hot soup for about 2-3 minutes; it doesn’t take long.

4. 4

   Serve hot.
