Begin a culinary adventure as we reveal the secrets behind our Creamy Salmon Soup Recipe. Join us to explore the exquisite blend of rich, flaky salmon, smooth creaminess, and a variety of fragrant herbs, resulting in a soup that not only comforts the soul but also enhances your dining experience heights.
You must try the most delicious fish soup! However, I must warn you—I’m a bit biased because salmon is my favorite fish (especially smoked or baked). This soup perfectly balances two flavors: the creaminess of the stock and the rich taste of cooked salmon. They make an ideal combination. Simply add the basic trio of potato, carrot, and onion to create this easy-to-make fish soup.
There are various methods to prepare this fish soup. You can use precooked fish stock or store-bought stock, but I prefer making my own from leftover skin and bones, with the salmon head being the best choice for stock. Adding cream gives the soup a wonderfully tender and delicious flavor. Just give it a shot!
With the irresistible charm of seafood at its heart, our Creamy Salmon Soup is set to showcase a delightful interplay of flavors, textures, and culinary craftsmanship achieved through top-notch ingredients. Whether you are a devoted seafood lover or looking for a remarkable dish to impress others, this soup invites you to relish the sophistication of salmon enveloped in a rich, creamy broth.
Ingredients for Creamy Salmon Soup:
- 400 g fresh salmon;
- 2 potatoes;
- 1 onion;
- 1 carrot;
- 100 ml heavy cream;
- 50 g unsalted butter;
- 1 clove garlic;
- 10 g fresh herbs (parsley);
- 1 l water;
- salt and pepper to taste.
How to cook soup with salmon and heavy cream:
- Nicely clean fish under running water, pat it dry with paper towels; remove bones and skin from the fillet, set them aside. Take the salmon fillet and cut it into large cubes.
- Take a pot with 1 liter of water and let it boil on the high heat. Add bones and skin that you had from salmon, add a pinch of salt and cook fish stock for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sauté grated carrot and chopped onion with garlic for 5 minutes. Use butter for the purpose, let it melt in the skillet over medium heat and then add vegetables.
- Pour all the cream into the skillet with sautéed vegetables and boil the mixture for 5 minutes (to add more flavor add a pinch of garlic powder).
- Take all the bones and skin from the fish stock and drain it through a fine colander to ensure it will be transparent. Let the stock boil once again and add potatoes.
- In 5 minutes, add cubed salmon. Cook it for 10 minutes, soup should simmer slightly.
- Add sautéed veggies with cream to the soup and cook it for additional 5 minutes. Season soup to your taste, add salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover the pot with a lid and set the pot aside for all the aromas to incorporate. Add some chopped fresh parsley to your plate with salmon soup before serving. Enjoy your meal!
