Spinach Soup with Norwegian Salmon
4 servings
40 minutes
Spinach puree soup with Norwegian salmon is a true embodiment of northern cuisine's sophistication. The delicate creamy soup, enriched with fresh spinach, gains a special depth of flavor from the juicy Norwegian salmon that has undergone gentle cooking. A light tang of lemon highlights the fish's natural sweetness, while butter gives the soup a silky texture. Leeks and potatoes harmoniously soften the brightness of the spinach, creating a balanced and rich taste. Traditionally, such soups are prepared in Norway as warming dishes on cold days, served with soft pieces of salmon and half an egg. This dish is not only nutritious but also aesthetically refined, making it perfect for dinner in a cozy atmosphere.
