Finland has a very diverse cuisine, but the people of the country love and respect fish dishes. One example is Finnish soup , which is made from salmon, trout or salmon. It is served all year round, so you can try it in almost every restaurant. However, if you can’t travel, you can always cook Lohikeitto at home.

Features of the dish

In fact, there are two types of broth in Finnish : kalakeitto or lohikeitto. The main set of ingredients is similar, but for the first one they take milk, and for the second - only cream. Lohikeitto is considered a more tasty and satisfying option. In addition to this, there are other features of the national dish, for example:

  1. The Finns say that by cooking soup in a cast iron pot and oven, you can achieve a unique taste. the lohikeitto soup another day , and only then it is served. Russian borscht or cabbage soup also has a similar feature, which becomes tastier after 1-2 days.
  2. You don't have to use only salmon or trout fillets; fish heads, tails, or backbones will also work. Sometimes stores sell ready-made kits that allow you to cook rich Finnish salmon soup with cream . If you can’t find it, then a less expensive fish will do – pink salmon, for example.
  3. Of course, restaurants serve the dish with fish fillet, but at home you can replace it with other parts. Large moose have a large head, so they contain enough pulp to make broth.

The classic recipe for Finnish cream soup involves using salmon fillet, but this type of fish is often expensive, which puts a big strain on the family budget. The taste of the dish will not change in any way if you use the head, tail or ready-made soup set. This way you can cook it more often, delighting your family with an interesting dish. Do not overly season the finished soup with spices, otherwise it will overwhelm the taste. One serving (100 grams) contains about 55-80 kcal, and the fish is also excessively rich in useful elements. For these reasons, broth can be included in the diet during a diet.

Simple recipes for every day

Finnish salmon soup with cream is a more affordable option. It requires the following ingredients:

  • fish set or salmon steak – 400 g;
  • leek and onion - 1 pc.;
  • carrots – 1 pc.;
  • potatoes – 3-4 pcs.;
  • wheat flour – 1.5 tbsp. l;
  • bay leaf – 2-3 pcs.;
  • salt, pepper and dill.

Cut the fish (be sure to cut off the gills from the heads, otherwise the broth will be bitter) and wash. Place in a saucepan, add two liters of water and let the broth simmer. After boiling, remove the foam, add 1 whole potato and onion, reduce the heat. Cook until soft with the lid closed. Next, you should strain the broth, remove the head, remove the meat from it and throw it into the pan. When using steak, it is recommended to only cut it and add it to the dish at the very end. The potatoes need to be crushed and the onions removed. Chop the leek and sauté in oil, then throw it into the broth. Send potatoes cut into small cubes and chopped carrots there.

Finnish salmon soup with cream is prepared in a similar way. Products you will need:

  • salmon – 300 g;
  • potatoes – 5 pcs.;
  • cream 10% - about 200 ml;
  • butter – 2 tbsp. l;
  • onion – 1 pc.;
  • water – 1.5-2 l.

Prepare the red fish and place it in boiling water to cook for 7-10 minutes. Then remove the salmon and strain the broth. Peel, wash and cut vegetables. Finely chop the onion, chop the potatoes into cubes. Saute the onions in a frying pan with butter, throw the potatoes into the broth for 20 minutes. At this time, cut the fish into small pieces and add it along with the onion to the pan. Reduce heat to low, pour in cream, stir and wait until it boils. There is no need to boil the fish soup, otherwise the cream will curdle. The finished dish goes well with rosemary or dill.

Original ideas for soup

Finnish salmon and cream soup can be slightly modified by making a liquid cream out of it. The dish turns out very tender with a bright fishy taste. It's easy to make it from:

  • salmon – slightly less than 0.5 kg;
  • broccoli – 400 g;
  • cream – 200 ml;
  • black pepper and salt - to taste.

Wash the fish and cut it into small pieces so that it cooks faster. Also wash the broccoli and break it into arbitrary slices; you can boil it all together until tender. Remove the products from the broth and grind in a blender. You need to gradually add broth to achieve the desired consistency. Finally, add the cream, bring to a boil, turn off the heat and leave covered for a few minutes. Finnish puree soup , garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Another unusual recipe for Finnish creamy salmon soup is to use smoked fish. The dish will turn out very aromatic with a rich taste, which will be complemented by vegetables. Ingredients:

  • smoked salmon – 250 g;
  • fresh salmon – 500 g;
  • potatoes – 4 pcs.;
  • carrots – 1.5 pcs.;
  • leek – 2 pcs.;
  • celery root;
  • flour – 1-2 tbsp. l.;
  • dill, salt and fennel.

Smoked salmon only needs to be cut into thin layers. Wash and chop the vegetables: leeks and carrots into strips, potatoes into cubes, chop the white part of the onion into half rings. Add all the vegetables and spices to the boiling broth and cook for 7-10 minutes until half cooked. Add fresh and smoked salmon to the boiling soup, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add flour and a little dill to the cream, pour into the pan and stir until it boils. Then turn off the heat and leave to steep for 10-20 minutes.

Finnish creamy fish soup is prepared in various ways using salmon, salmon or trout fillets, as well as other parts of the carcass. A great option is to cook a dish from the pulp, and an affordable one is from a ready-made kit. You can prepare soup quickly if you know simple but interesting recipes.

Chum salmon soups are prepared very quickly and have a delicate and soft texture. This fish is not cheap, but for that it is very healthy, tasty and satisfying.

The main thing is not to overcook it, otherwise it will become dry and tougher.

Soup with red fish is prepared in water or in clear vegetable or fish broth. Seasoned with many spices and herbs. A variety of vegetables are thrown here: potatoes, carrots, leeks, broccoli, tomatoes, bell peppers and many others.

You can also find a second type of fish or seafood in this soup. Creamy soups are very popular, because red fish goes well with cream, cheese or milk.

Cream soups are no less popular, when all the ingredients are boiled and then blended in a blender with the addition of broth or cream. Below, I offer recipes for making delicious soups with red fish.

Hearty first course with noodles

It is not necessary to use fillets or steaks for cooking soup - heads and tails are excellent for this purpose. The most delicious parts of the carcass are taken for baking, frying or salting, and the healthy ones are left for aspic or fish soup. The broth from the bones turns out to be incredibly rich, and you will also be able to save money - in stores, soup sets are cheaper than sirloin. The following ingredients are needed:

  • soup set - about 600 g;
  • potatoes - 4 tubers;
  • carrots - 1 pc.;
  • onions - 2 pcs.;
  • water - 2 l;
  • vermicelli - 2 handfuls;
  • butter - 20 g;
  • several bay leaves;
  • salt;
  • spices for fish (necessarily black pepper);
  • fresh greens.

The quality of the fish cutting determines how the first course will taste. It is necessary to cut out the gills from the head, thoroughly clean and rinse the chum salmon slices under water. Pour clean liquid over the pieces, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce it. Throw a whole onion and half a carrot, peppercorns, and bay leaf into the pan. The cooking time for the head and trimmings is 40-60 minutes. After the time has passed, the broth is filtered and the fish is placed on a plate.

During this time, you can fry vegetables. To do this, melt the butter, place finely chopped onions in a hot frying pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes until transparent. Next, add the diced potatoes and fry for a couple more minutes until soft.

It is recommended to let the finished broth “rest” for 10-20 minutes, and then bring it to a boil again. Add potatoes to it and simmer until done. Place the vegetables into the pan, after a couple of minutes you can return the pieces of chum salmon (the pulp is separated from the tail and head after cooling).

At the very end, add vermicelli - “Gossamer” is better suited, as it cooks quickly. Keep on low heat for another 3-4 minutes and turn off the stove. Leave the chum salmon soup frozen under the lid so that all the ingredients are ready. When serving, add finely chopped herbs.

Cheese soup with red fish and cream

Stews with cream are prepared specifically from salmon types of fish. They provide a moderately aromatic and fatty broth, and the dairy product complements it perfectly. If you add a little melted cheese, the soup acquires a velvety consistency and a unique taste. As a rule, cereals are not added to such dishes—potatoes are enough, which are sometimes mashed with a fork to obtain a thick broth. List of ingredients:

  • chum salmon fillet - 400 g;
  • vegetable broth - 1 l;
  • onion - 1 head;
  • potatoes - 2 tubers;
  • cream (10%) - 100 ml;
  • processed cheese - 150 g;
  • butter - 30 g;
  • wheat flour - 2 tbsp. l.;
  • vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.;
  • dried thyme - to taste;
  • salt;
  • ground pepper.


Heat the butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add chopped onion and fry until transparent. Pour in warm vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Throw in potatoes, cut into large cubes, and add salt. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.

During this time, you can cut the fillet into small pieces, sprinkle with flour and fry until golden brown in vegetable oil. Pour cream into the pan, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Place chum salmon into a saucepan with potatoes and onions, add spices.

Grate the cheese or cut it into small cubes - this makes it easier to melt it in the soup. Place it in a dish and mix thoroughly so that no lumps form. After boiling, remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with any herbs (basil, dill, parsley), as in the photographs, and serve.

Secrets of chum salmon fish soup

Most people are accustomed to cooking fish soup from river fish, while sea fish is often baked or fried. In fact, fish soup can be cooked from almost any species. You just need to know the peculiarities of cutting and cooking so that the first dish turns out tasty and healthy. A minimum of action and effort - this is about classic fish soup.

It's worth knowing a few tips:

  • for chum salmon soup with cream, parts with bones are suitable - head, tail, ridge;
  • the broth should simmer and not boil, otherwise it will turn out cloudy and not rich enough;
  • vegetables should be cut as large as possible, for example, carrots into circles, and potatoes into 4-8 parts;
  • The head of chum salmon is large enough and contains a lot of pulp, so you can do without fillets or steaks.

We must remember that the heat must be removed from the head. They not only add bitterness and cloudiness to the broth, but also cause poisoning in humans in rare cases. It is customary to lighten river fish chowder with a shot of vodka. However, red fish has a unique, subtle flavor that is easily destroyed by alcohol. In this case, pouring the drink is not a good idea.
