Ingredients

• 500 grams Salmon fillet, skinless and boneless
• 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 medium Leek, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes and set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Sprinkle with the flour and stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and add the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Step 5

Once the vegetables are cooked through, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the cubed salmon to the soup. Simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and tender. Avoid boiling to prevent the salmon from becoming tough.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and stir in the chopped dill and lemon juice.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a delightful meal.
