Salmon Fish Soup

This delicious Creamy Salmon Soup is the perfect recipe to warm your soul on a cold winter day. We love soups and borsch in our household so i make a variety of different kinds. We especially love this salmon soup. At first i thought it’ll have a fishy taste to it but i was so wrong. It tastes so good that we keep going back to it and making it again and again. This recipe is a keeper for sure. I normally cook by “eye” and “taste” but this time i actually took the time to write a recipe for it so i can share it.

While this soup looks and sounds luxury, it really is so easy to make and only calls for a handful of ingredients. I love using fresh salmon fillet for this soup, after all it is like the star of the show here so i highly recommend using a nice fresh fillet to bring your simple soup to another level.

If you have leftover salmon fillet, you can choose to freeze it or make my juicy salmon burgers the next day, or make my flaky salmon recipe with rice and vegetables for another complete meal.

Ingredients:

4 Large potatoes – cubed

1 medium Carrot – diced or grated (your preference)

1 medium onion – diced

3 cloves of garlic – pressed

16oz salmon fillet

8 cups of water

1 1/4 cup of heavy cream

1 – 14.5oz can diced tomatoes (do not drain)

2Tablespoons of butter for sauteing

1 1/2 Tbsp salt or bullion cubes to taste

1/8tsp black pepper (optional)

3Tablespoons  of dry Parmesan cheese

Greens – fresh dill & parsley

  1. Peel and cube the potatoes, add about 8 cups of water and 1 1/2 Tbsp of salt, bring to a boil then lower heat to med/low and let it simmer until potatoes are fork soft.1968DEC6-7DBA-430A-B399-3417A6309F46
  2. Meanwhile, saute the vegetables. Preheat a skillet on med/low, add diced onion and saute until golden brown or transparent. Then add the carrots and saute for another minute or two. Lastly, add the pressed garlic and the can of diced tomatoes. Mix well, saute for another minute and take off the heat.

**If you don’t have canned diced tomatoes, you can also cut up fresh after removing the skins from them. (To easily remove skins, pour boiling water over the tomatoes and let it sit for a few minutes.)

When the potatoes are fork soft, add the sauteed vegetables and the heavy cream and bring the soup back to a boil before adding the salmon.

Prepare the salmon fillet by cutting into 1/2- 1 inch cubes. Once the soup comes to a boil, add the salmon pieces and parmesan cheese and bring back to boil once more.

After the soup comes back to boiling point, turn off the heat and add your greens.

Mix well and Enjoy!

    I never thought I’ll eat fish soup but here I am cooking this twice this week already. It is so delicious and we can’t get enough of it. (I serve fresh panara bread 🥖 with it, it’s so comforting)

    I didn’t know what to expect from this recipe since I’m not a big fan of fishy soup, but this one didn’t taste fishy, my family ate it and loved it 👍🏻
