Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Fish or vegetable stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 6 ounces Cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 6 ounces Smoked salmon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Slowly whisk in the fish or vegetable stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
Step 7
Add the softened cream cheese, stirring frequently, until it melts completely into the soup and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped smoked salmon, fresh dill, and lemon juice. Allow the soup to gently bubble for 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Step 9
Season with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Step 10
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with additional smoked salmon or dill if desired, and serve warm.
