Lohikeito Finnish fish soup

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook Finnish lohikeito soup? Prepare the products that are listed in the recipe according to the list. For the broth, take the fish's head, tail, fins and spine. For the soup itself, you can use fillet or salmon steak.

2. Step 2:

   

   Be sure to remove the gills from the head. Clean the tail and head from the scales. Rinse the fish and send it to a small saucepan or saucepan. Add the bay leaf, a couple of peas of black pepper and put on the stove. At the moment of boiling, foam forms, be sure to remove it with a spoon, otherwise the broth will be cloudy. Cook the fish for about 10-15 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Peel potatoes, carrots and onions. In the original recipe, leeks are usually used, if possible, take it too. Rinse everything and dry it with napkins.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut carrots into thin circles, onions into half rings or cubes, and potatoes into cubes or medium-sized pieces.

5. Step 5:

   

   Heat the odorless vegetable oil in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Send the carrots and onions to fry. Stirring, bring to the desired degree of readiness.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put potatoes in a saucepan. The number of potatoes can be increased or vice versa reduced, depending on how thick you want to get soup.

    When the potatoes are ready, use a slotted spoon to catch part of it and crush it with a fork. This is necessary in order to thicken the soup.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the salmon pieces in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes or a little longer. If the fish is digested, it will become dry.

    Pour the cream into the pan. Which cream is better to take? Cream of any fat content is suitable for soup. I usually use at least 30%. At this stage, see if your soup is too thick and, if necessary, add the right amount of boiling water. Try again for salt, add salt if required.

13. Step 12:

    

    Wait for the boiling point on high heat, add the chopped herbs and immediately remove the pan from the heat.
