Salmon soup with cream

Description

Perfect for lunch. The main ingredients are salmon, which gives the soup a beautiful color and a wonderful aroma; heavy cream, which makes the soup tender, silky, and visually appealing; and finally, dill, which perfectly complements the combination of seafood and herbs. Creamy salmon soup speaks for itself—you simply can't help but love it.
