Fish soup belongs to modern as well as to traditional Finnish kitchen. Finland has thousands of lakes and fish soup has always been eaten in the whole country. Finnish fish soup traditionally includes salmon or other fatty fish, often accompanied with some lean fish. The other main ingredients are broth, onion or leek and potato and other root vegetables. Milk or cream is often used in the broth, and the dish is garnished with dill. Rye bread, which is a Finnish household staple is traditionally served with the soup.
We present here three delicious versions from Helsinki restaurants.
