Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon and place the skins into a large pot with about 5 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then simmer for 10 minutes. Discard the skins and reserve the stock.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add chopped leeks and a pinch of kosher salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add white pepper and ground allspice, cooking briefly.
- Add chopped potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot with the reserved fish stock. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and let tenderize for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are tender, lower the heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream along with the salmon chunks. Gently fold them into the soup and cook for 2-4 minutes until salmon is opaque.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve piping hot, garnished with fresh dill.

Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients and avoid boiling the soup after adding cream to maintain texture.
