Salmon puree soup can be found in the menu of expensive restaurants, but this does not mean that you need to have the skill of a chef to make it. Even an inexperienced cook will cope with cooking this exquisite dish. To get the perfect result, he only needs to know a few secrets.
- The better and fresher the salmon is, the tastier the soup will be. This is the main ingredient of the dish, so you should not save it.
- When making salmon soup-puree, the broth is first cooked, and only then the first dish is made on its basis. Before using the broth must be filtered so that it does not have fish bones. It is advisable to make it even if the broth was cooked from fish fillets - it happens that there are bones, separate scales in it.
- Salmon can be minced together with other ingredients or put in ready-made soup pieces. These points are usually indicated in the recipe.
- A delicious salmon soup is made by adding cream or cream cheese. They give the dish a soft, milky flavor, making it even more tender and refined. After adding the cream, warm the soup, but do not boil it. This is done in order to sterilize it. If you boil the dish after adding the cream, they may curl.
- If you want the soup to have a thicker consistency, put more potatoes in it or add flour. Small corn grits also help to cope with this task.
- A blender is used to turn the products into mashed potatoes. It is more convenient to use the submersible design, which allows you to chop products right in the pan. Using such a device, you must follow the instructions for its use, so as not to burn yourself with scattering splashes.
