Method
Cut the potatoes2 into cubes, the carrot4 into half-moons, and finely chop the onion3.
Bring 450 ml of water to a boil, then add the potatoes2, carrots4, onion3, bay leaf, and salt.
Simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes2 are almost tender.
Cut the smoked salmon1 into large chunks, add to the soup, and cook for 7–8 minutes until the flesh is just opaque.
Stir in the cream5, add black pepper, and heat gently for 2 minutes without boiling vigorously.
Remove the bay leaf, sprinkle with fresh dill6, and let the soup rest for 5 minutes.
Tips
- Why it works
- Add the salmon only after the potatoes, otherwise it will fall apart in the broth. Cook until the flesh turns opaque, overcooked fish stays tough.
- Substitutions
- Replace 10% cream with 20% sour cream (51 g), but the soup will be thicker. You can skip the carrot if you do not have one.
- Common mistakes
- If the salmon cooks longer than 8 minutes, it breaks into fibers. Test by tasting: the flesh should be tender but not crumbly.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not freeze.
- Serve with
- Serve with dark bread and pickled cucumbers. Works for a weekday family lunch.
