Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium leeks, trimmed and sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 500 ml chicken broth
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Begin by removing the skin from the salmon fillets and cutting them into 2 cm cubes. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced leeks. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the leeks are softened and fragrant.
Add the diced zucchini to the pot and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, mixing until the cream cheese has melted completely into the broth, creating a creamy consistency.
Add the salmon pieces to the pot, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and opaque.
Once the salmon is cooked, stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the soup before serving to enhance flavor and add healthy fats.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional dill if desired. Serve hot.
