Creating Finnish Salmon Soup – Lohikeitto can be simple and enjoyable if you follow these easy steps:

1. Melt the Butter: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Sauté the Leeks: Add the sliced leeks to the pot. Sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the Potatoes: Toss in the diced potatoes. Stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
4. Incorporate the Broth: Pour in the fish stock or water, ensuring that all the vegetables are submerged. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the Heat: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Add the Salmon: Gently stir in the cubed salmon. Allow it to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
7. Pour in the Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, heating through without boiling it. This makes the soup rich and creamy.
8. Season: Fold in the dill and add salt and pepper to taste for seasoning.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot for the best flavor experience.
