The History of the Salmon Soup
Salmon soup has a longstanding history across diverse cultures and regions. It finds its origin in coastal settlements as fishermen used to appreciate the great bounties of the sea with nourishing, flavorful broths. For centuries, salmon soup took different regional adaptations, reflecting local ingredients and uses.
Traditionally, communities in Scandinavia and the Pacific Northwest have viewed salmon soup as a basic source of nutrition that sustains them during the hardships of long winter. We celebrate that legacy by employing recipes honed over generations. In our version, we marry old world techniques and modern culinary insights, ensuring a great tradition is melded with contemporary fast-paced life in every bowl of the soup.

Notes
Instructions
Just follow these vagaries in three carefully extended steps to a delicious and nutritious salmon soup that will feast the eye and palate.
Step 1: Making the Base
Heat and Sauté Aromatics:
We start by setting a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and heating 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil shimmers, we add 1 finely chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent and good smelling (about 3 to 4 minutes). This technique would create a solid flavor base for the soup.
Add Fresh Vegetables:
Then, we add 2 diced carrots, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 2 cubed medium potatoes in the pot. After this, the veggies should stir on a constant basis for about 5 minutes till they soften and absorb the lovely scent from the sautéed-onion base. This step produces a colorful harvest waiting to be unified into a delicious broth.
“A solid base is the secret to a rich and multilayered flavor in a soup.”
— Our Head Chef
Step 2: Creating the Flavorful Broth
Incorporate the Fish Stock:
Once the vegetables soften, we will add 4 cups of fish stock. This is the soup base, intended to be combined with the sauteed vegetables to form a fragrant stock. We allow this to come to a gentle simmer, allowing flavors to meld together and release their essences.
Season and Simmer:
Add 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. The lemon juice gives a bright hit of acidity to balance the richness of the salmon and cream. We keep the simmer going for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. It is an important step because it gives the flavors time to coalesce, yielding a soup that is both fragrant and hearty.
“A gentle simmer allows all flavors to come together-a harmony of flavors for every spoonful.”
— Our Culinary Experts
Step 3: Add the Salmon and Finish
Adding the Salmon:
Carefully slide 400g salmon cubes into the hot broth. Stir it carefully to evenly distribute the salmon throughout the soup. This will permit a somewhat uniform cooking process, preventing the salmon from breaking apart. Yes, only about a few minutes of being in the simmering liquid will give seductively tender and flaky salmon.
Optional Creamy Version:
For those that like a thick and creamy soup, this is where we add 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix the cream into the broth well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. That extra step also completely alters the texture of the soup, giving it a luxuriously smooth quality without really breaking down the salmon and vegetables.
Finish with Fresh Herbs:
Finish cooking by adding 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill. Besides providing a lively backdrop of color, this herb adds a cool, herbaceous note that elevates the taste of both the salmon and the vegetables. Give the soup one last stir, check seasonings, and prepare to serve.
“Each of the ingredients is part of a balance that is both delicious and healthful.”

Chef’s Tips and Tricks for the Best Salmon Soup
- Use Fresh, Good Quality Ingredients:
We use fresh salmon and seasonal veggies, always. They make the soup taste so much better and add extra nutritional power. - Maintain a Gentle Simmer:
A simmer that is controlled, gentle and modest preserves the delicate texture of the salmon and avoids overcooking the vegetables, resulting in a uniformly smooth broth. - Make It Yours:
Adapt the seasoning with more spices or herbs if you like. A small amount of smoked paprika or several saffron threads, for example, impart non-traditional, but delightful, flavor notes. - Garnish Creatively:
There is also more to value dining than the taste of food itself. You should serve the soup in warmed bowls, topped with more dill and a wedge of lemon. This simple touch raises the dish to a different visual and gastronomical sphere.
“Enjoying every little detail, either in preparation or presentation, turns a good meal into an unforgettable one.”
