About Salmon soup

Salmon soup is a hearty, warm dish often associated with Nordic and Scandinavian cuisines but also enjoyed globally. Typically made by combining fresh salmon, vegetables, broth, and herbs, this soup is rich in flavor and nutrients. Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Additionally, the vegetables often included, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes, contribute essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. A standard serving of salmon soup provides a well-rounded meal with a balance of macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbs) and numerous micronutrients beneficial to overall health.

• Promotes brain function with its high content of DHA, a key omega-3 fatty acid found in salmon.
• Aids in maintaining strong bones with its rich supply of vitamin D, important for calcium absorption and bone health.
