Classics of Finnish Cuisine: Salmon Soup - Embassy of Finland in Israel

Finnish residence staff prepares salmon soup
Creamy salmon soup is a Finnish classic dish. Finland celebrates National Fish Soup Day on February 12, but fish soup is also eaten during the summer, and for many it is part of their traditional summer menu. This classic of our food culture, fish soup cooked in milk is a food the world hardly comes across somewhere else than in Finland.
In the Finnish national epic Kalevala, salmon was eaten in the morning, at noon and even in the evening. Therefore, salmon soup can be considered a significant food for Finns culturally.
And… it is very tasty, too!

You inspired me to cook salmon soup for Sunday dinner today. Of course, you can cook variations of all recipes if you want, so I also added a splash of white wine, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for more spicy taste. So good! Thanks for the inspiration.

You have to remember that fish and especially cream should not be boiled for too long. It was not mentioned in the video. The fish breaks down and the cream gets greasy.

@@pvahanen what are you talking about? Both fish and cream cook times were specifically mentioned in the video.
