- Waxy potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold)
- Leeks
- Carrots (optional)
- Cream (heavy or whipping)
- Fresh dill
- Vegetable stock
- White pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Clean and chop the leeks, peel and dice the potatoes, and slice the carrots.

- Add the Vegetables: Add diced potatoes and sliced carrots, cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Pour in the Stock: Add vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, around 15-20 minutes.
- Incorporate the Salmon: Cut salmon into cubes and add it just a few minutes before the soup is done to avoid drying it out.
