I've got some free internet here at Cafe Esplanad in Helsinki, while I wait another hour or so before meeting up with Saara and Geoff, and I wanted to get Minna's Salmon Soup down on paper before I forget.
1 Litre of water
2 bay leaves
handful of whole peppercorns
1 leek, thinly sliced
about 2 cups of diced potatoes
1 small onion, small dice
1 lb of salmon, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 cup of half and half
Boil the water and add the leeks, bay leaves and potatoes. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the onions in some olive oil over medium heat until slightly golden and soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add the salmon to the onions, and brown on all sides. When the potatoes are about 5 minutes from being done, add the onion/fish mix to the soup. One minute out, add the half and half. Salt to taste.
Serve hot with brown bread and cheese.
