How To Make creamy salmon and leek soup

  • Step 1
    Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf.
  • Step 2
    Cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes or until the leek is soft, then add the potatoes and stir until coated in the oil.
  • Step 3
    Add the broth and cream and bring to a simmer, then gently bubble for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  • Step 4
    The recipe can be frozen at this point but under-cook the potatoes slightly. When ready to serve, defrost and bring back to a simmer to finish cooking and continue the recipe.
  • Step 5
    Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season.
  • Step 6
    Serve the soup in deep bowls with the remaining smoked salmon and snipped chives or fresh dill on the top.
