Lohikeitto

Finnish salmon soup is a quick weekday meal, but also a popular dish to serve to guests. Enhancing it with cheese-flavored cooking cream gives you a wonderfully rich soup. Serve it with authentic rye bread. With a little modification, you can make fish solyanka: replace the cooking cream with dill-flavored cream cheese, which brings a nice acidity to the dish.
