Products for a 3-liter pot:

- large potato - 2 pcs;
- 33% cream - 30 ml;

- butter - 50 g;

Preparation
- To prepare Finnish creamy salmon soup, first, you need to make the broth. Rinse fresh salmon (I took 2 steaks) well under running water, place it in a pot with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat, and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes.
- Cut the onion into large pieces and send it to the frying pan, sauté in butter.
- Grate the carrot coarsely and add it to the onion; let the vegetables sauté for 10 minutes over low heat.
- Wash the tomatoes and peel them.
Tip: pour boiling water over the tomatoes and leave for 10 minutes, so the skin can easily come off without damaging the flesh of the vegetables.
- Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the frying pan.
- Pour the vegetables with 33% cream, simmer the resulting mixture over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Remove the boiled salmon from the broth onto a separate plate.
- Cut the potato into small cubes and send it to cook in the prepared broth.
- When the potato is cooked, add the sautéed vegetable and cream mixture to it.
- Break the fish into medium-sized pieces and add it to the pot.
- Add salt, pepper, 3 bay leaves to the soup, and sprinkle with marjoram. Optionally, add red hot ground pepper.
- Finely chop the herbs and garnish the Finnish creamy salmon soup.
Interesting fact: cream can be replaced with milk, then the soup will be less fatty, but it will also be called differently: "Kalakleitto".
Serving: serve the soup garnished with lemon, with fresh corn or buckwheat bread.
Finnish creamy salmon soup turns out to be very unusual in taste. Cream, tomatoes, fish, marjoram, pepper - these ingredients give it a magical spiciness. I hope you agree with me.
And this soup is also very healthy, as fish contains Omega 3 - which strengthens the heart and vascular systems, lowers cholesterol, stimulates immunity.
