Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Cut the salmon fillets into small chunks and add them to the pot. Stir gently to combine with the vegetables.
- Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the pot while stirring continuously.
- Add the dried dill, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer the soup to a blender and blend in small batches.
- Return the blended soup to the pot and heat over low heat until warmed through.
- Serve the Cream of Salmon Soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
