Leek and Salmon Soup image

This is a soup that beautifully disguises the amount of veggies. My kids adore it. This is also the only way they will happily eat salmon. It's so tender and blends in so well with the leeks and veggies that they are happy when this turns up every 2 weeks or so. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the remains.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 small yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups vegetable stock, divided
2 large yellow potatoes, sliced
1 small head cauliflower, broken into small florets
2 carrots, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into large chunks
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
½ (2.8 ounce) package French-fried onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, onions, and shallots. Add garlic and salt. Cook and stir until all is well wilted and soft, but not browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour 4 cups of stock into the pot; add potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until carrots and potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Insert a hand blender into the soup and blend until creamy-smooth. Add more broth if too thick; the soup should be the consistency of thick bisque.
  • Stir cream into the soup; cook until heated through but not boiling. Add salmon; cook and stir until it flakes apart, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into bowls and sprinkle onions on top.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was good, but I think it could have been better with a few tweaks. I would try using a different type of broth next time, and I would also add some more vegetables.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will try using less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out way too thick. I had to add a lot of extra broth to thin it out.

This soup was not what I expected. I thought it would be more creamy, but it was actually quite thin. The flavor was also a bit underwhelming.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think I will try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will try it again with less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but I decided to try this soup anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The leeks were not overpowering and the soup was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this soup to others.

This soup is so good! I love the creamy texture and the subtle sweetness of the leeks. The salmon adds a nice smoky flavor and the dill ties everything together perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again and again.
