Finnish-style salmon soup with cream
Description
A hearty first course. Finnish-style fish soup is easy and quick to prepare. You can make it using just fish fillet in a vegetable broth, but the soup will be more flavorful and richer if you include fish heads and tails. Salmon fillet should not be overcooked, otherwise it will become tasteless and tough. Therefore, add the fillet to the soup 5 minutes before it's done. Details on how to serve: ladle into bowls and serve.
