Easy Salmon Soup (Psarosoupa me Solomo)

Written by Published on Updated on May 21, 2019 in Uncategorized

My husband and I have been under the weather these past few days, so soups are basically our main choice of food.  We have already had the Chicken soup, Beef soup, and since Salmon was the only thing left in our fridge, well that made an excellent choice for another delicious soup to help us with our colds.

A couple of years ago we went on vacation to Nordkapp, otherwise known as the North Cape in Norway, which is just stunning, this is actually the northerly point of Europe.  Anyway, we travelled through Sweden, we spent a few nights in Stockholm, wow!! so beautiful, our next stop over was Finland.  We found this great hotel, left our luggage and off we went to discover and find food to eat.   🙂 

Finland, has this delicious Salmon soup, when I first looked at it I was a bit hesitant, only because back then I wasn’t really a fan of creamy soups, but I gave it a try and that was it, I loved it!!! For the three days that we were there all I ate was Salmon Soup.  🙂  Now, my soup has all the ingredients that the Finnish Salmon Soup has except for the cream. 

One tip that I would like to share with you is that the Scandanavian countries are just breathtaking  put Sweden, Finland, and Norway on your bucket list.. 🙂

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 kilo Salmon
  • 5 Potatoes Chopped
  • 1 large Carrots Diced
  • 1/2 cup Dill diced
  • 1/4 Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Leek or Onions chopped
  • 3 cups Fish Broth
  • Heavy Cream Optional
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large sauce pan saute leek, potatoes, carrots in olive oil…
  • If your more of a fan of butter you can substitute unsalted butter with the Olive Oil.
  • Add water and the fish broth and boil until vegetables are tender.
  • Lastly, add in the Salmon that has been cut into pieces and simmer for 10 more minutes. I have not added heavy cream but if you do have it you can add this into the boiling time and have more of a chowder type soup which is delicious. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
