Salmon soup is a very traditional Finnish dish that I have grown to love. It is easy to make and is a perfect meal for a chilly day.

Ingredients:

- 6 potatoes
- 3 carrots
- 2 yellow onions
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 400 grams /0.881 lb salmon filee(raw)
- 3/4 cup cream
- 3 tsp salt
-salt and pepper to taste
- dill (garnish)

Method:

-Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots.
- Chop the carrots, potatoes, and onions into bite size chunks.
- Add the vegetables, bay leaf, 3 tsp salt, and water to a pot.
- Boil on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are tender.
- Turn heat to low. 
- Make sure all the bones are out of your salmon filee.
- Slice the salmon filee into bite size chunks and add to pot. (It will take about 5 minutes for the salmon to cook through.)
- Add cream
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with fresh dill.
