Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté until they are softened and fragrant.
2. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the potatoes in the butter and herb mixture.

4. Using an immersion blender or countertop blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, work in batches and be careful with the hot liquid.
5. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through.
6. To make the gravlax rosettes, take a slice of gravlax and roll it tightly into a rosette shape. Repeat with the remaining slices.
7. Serve the creamy potato soup hot and garnish each bowl with a gravlax rosette and fresh dill.
