Finnish lohikeitto Recipe

Finnish · Soup · 45 min total

A creamy and comforting Finnish salmon soup with leeks, potatoes, and dill, perfect for cold days.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 large leek, white and light green parts only, sliced
• 4 cups fish or vegetable broth
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add leek and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Add broth, potatoes, salt, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Add salmon cubes and cook until just opaque, about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in heavy cream and dill. Heat through but do not boil.
5. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot with rye bread.

Tips

• For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
• Garnish with extra fresh dill and a dollop of crème fraîche if desired.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently.
