Finnish Salmon Soup, or Lohikeitto, is a cosy 30-minute supper with a light cream broth, melt-in-your-mouth salmon chunks, and tonnes of fresh dill!
FOR THE SOUP – 2 Tbsp butter (or substitute olive oil) – 1.7 lbs sweet potatoes (or about 2 medium-large sweet potatoes), chopped – 1 medium yellow onion, roughly diced – 4 cups chicken stock (32 ounces), or substitute vegetable stock – 1/2 tsp salt – 2 tsp smoked paprika – 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg – 1/2 tsp garlic powder – 1/4 tsp ground coriander – 1/4 tsp ground cumin FOR THE LIME YOGURT DRIZZLE – 1/2 cup greek yogurt – zest of 1 lime – juice of 1/2 lime – small pinch salt
In a large stockpot, melt butter and boil chopped sweet potatoes and onions for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Pour in the stock, salt, and spices and simmer for 20 minutes to tenderise the veggies. After cooling, combine the soup with an immersion blender or normal blender until smooth.
Blend in batches if needed. Return the soup to the stockpot and boil until hot, seasoning as needed.
Whisk the ingredients until smooth, adding enough water to make the sauce pourable. Pour over cooked soup.
