Salmon Soup With Shrimp

During my stay in Helsinki, I was told to try salmon soup, and it was really delicious. Now, a few years later, I really wanted to give it a try myself. I found several recipes on the internet, but none seemed to be what I was looking for. I decided to simply do my own creation. So here it is: the recipe for Vail's salmon soup with shrimp.



What you need: (about 4 servings)

* 3 big potatoes (about 500g)
* 250g salmon
* 150g cocktail shrimp
* vegetable stock
* salt, pepper
* dill
* white wine
* light cream
* oil

Peel and dice the potatoes and put them in a pot. Add water and vegetable stock until the potatoes are covered, then let it boil for a little while. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are soft. Dice the salmon and cut the shrimp in two, or, if they're small, leave them the way they are. Add half of the fish and the shrimp to the soup and let it simmer for another ten minutes. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the other half of the salmon and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
Use a blender to create a smooth texture, add water if necessary, a dash of white wine and cream, and season with salt, pepper and dill. Serve with the fried fish & shrimp.

Enjoy~
