Europe’s Soups
Lohikeitto, from Finland

Lohikeitto is a traditional classic Finnish salmon soup. It’s easy to make and taste heavenly. Lohikeitto is made with fresh salmon, carrots, leeks, and chunky potatoes. At an early age, Finnish food was seasonal, during the wintergreen vegetables were not easily available.

As a result, most traditional Finnish recipes are simple dishes, mainly consisting of meat (most likely fish). Lohikeitto being easy to prepare a meal it’s flavored with Dill as many Finns recommend it. Some further suggest that milk could be used as an ingredient, but it must be whole milk, and it can be substituted for cream.

Imagine feasting on some delicious chunks of salmon with just the right potatoes drenched in creamy soup plus a little butter with some fresh dill. I bet you can almost taste it.
