Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dill
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the carrot and celery into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the carrot and celery to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
While the broth is heating, cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes.
Once the broth is simmering, gently add the salmon pieces into the pot. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add this mixture into the simmering soup while stirring, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the soup. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, then add the fresh dill and stir through.
Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving hot. Enjoy your low-fat and creamy salmon soup with a sprinkle of additional dill or a slice of crusty bread on the side, if desired.
