Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 large onion diced
5 cups fish stock *see note
2 medium russet potatoes cut into ½ inch pieces *see note
3 carrots cut into ¼ inch slices
¼ cup fresh dill chopped fine (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup cream
1- pound skinless salmon fillet cut into 1-inch chunks

Instructions

In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the fish stock, followed by the potatoes, carrots, dill, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to keep a gentle simmer. Cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
Add the cream and stir to combine. Add the salmon filets, stir to combine, then remove from the heat. Let the salmon cook in the hot soup for about 2-3 minutes; it doesn’t take long.
Serve hot.
