I hadn’t made this in ages, and honestly, I was blown away by how comforting and delicious it is—especially considering how EASY it is to make

Growing up, my mom made her own version regularly—sometimes with cod, sometimes with prawns. She even sent me a picture of her 1980s Finnish cookbook Keittotaito, where the original recipe calls for milk instead of cream. Back then, cream was considered a luxury too extravagant for soup. Luckily for us, times have changed! I’ve added cream and a touch of lemon to brighten it up.

400g salmon, cut into chunks (or your favorite fish!)

250g potatoes, bite-sized (baby potatoes are my favorite)

1 piece leek, sliced

1 carrot, cut into chunks

100ml cream

500ml water

1 fish broth cube

1 bunch of dill, chopped

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 tsp corn starch

निर्देश

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot. Sauté the leeks with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes.

Add the potatoes, carrots, water, and broth cube. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are almost tender.

Gently stir in the salmon, lemon zest, dill, and cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the fish is perfectly cooked.

Mix corn starch with 1 tablespoon of hot water, then stir it into the soup to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Ladle into bowls, squeeze in fresh lemon juice, and enjoy!
