Cut the leeks into thin strips and wash them well. Peel and slice the carrots and cut the potatoes into cubes. Cut the fresh salmon into large cubes. Chop the dill finely.

PREPARE

In a large saucepan, sauté the leeks and slice carrots in butter or olive oil.

SAUTÉ

Once the leeks have reduced in volume by half, add the potatoes and fish stock. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes at medium heat until the potatoes are cooked.

COOK

10 minutes before serving, add the salmon chunks and cream. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked. The cream should not boil. Close the lid and wait another 5 minutes.

This soup is my FAVORITE!! Literally such a cozy soup for any season and so easy to make !!!!

Love this soup-made it for my wife, whose maternal grandmother, Helmi, was of Finnish descent.  We are Pescatarian and love salmon as well.  Definitely a keeper!

Excellent! I’ve made it with white sweet potatoes or cauliflower to omit potatoes, due to allergy. I also use chicken broth when I don’t have fish broth. Sometimes we are without cream, so a spoonful of sour cream or yogurt per bowl suffices. It’s so satisfying.

Simple, clean, flavorsome - it never fails to please.   Thank you Geraldine.

It's perfect. The fish, the dill, the lemon... everything.

This is one of my favorite cold weather soups now! I make it all the time and my family loves it. Thank you so much for this great recipe!

Simple, quick, fabulous look with all of the autumnal colors, but mostly, exquisite flavor, texture and taste.  A really rather elegant meal.
