Finnish Fish Soup Lohikeitto

01Method

1. 1

   In a large pot, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion and sliced leek until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced carrot and cook for another 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Dust with flour and cook briefly, then whisk in the hot water. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and a pinch of sugar, stirring well to combine.

3. 3

   Add the diced potatoes and cut green beans. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes until the vegetables are nearly tender.

4. 4

   Stir in the cream and vinegar. After 1 minute, add the salmon cut into bite-sized pieces. Let the soup return to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat—the fish will finish cooking in the residual heat. Finish with fresh dill and serve.
