Salmon, Kale and Sweet Potato Soup
Happy Saturday, Soupers! Some recipes never get old. You love them no matter when you make them throughout the year. Some recipes benefit greatly from variety. This is the case with this Salmon, Kale and Sweet Potato Soup! It’s a “cousin” to our family fav Lohikeitto, except this time, we substitute russet potatoes for sweet potatoes, and spinach for kale. The result? Still outstanding!
Ingredients
1 lb salmon filet, skinned and cut into largish chunks, reserve the skin
4 tablespoons, unsalted butter
1 large leek, trimmed, sliced, and well rinsed
1 red shallot
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
5 cups (1,25l) fish stock (can be substituted with water).
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large carrot, sliced
1 cup (10g) fresh dill for garnish, finely chopped, divided
1 cup (250ml) crème fraîche
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon flour
1 squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper to taste
