Finnish salmon soup

Finnish salmon soup

Finnish salmon soup is made not only from salmon or trout fillets, but also from the bellies of these fish. To give the broth a richer flavor, the spine and fins remaining after filleting the carcass are used. Cream is definitely added to the soup, and butter is used for frying the vegetables. The higher the fat content of the cream and butter, the tastier and more satisfying the dish turns out.
