→ Vegetables
02 - 1.3 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾ inch cubes
03 - 1 medium carrot, sliced
04 - 1 small leek, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
05 - 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

11 - ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
12 - 1 tablespoon butter
# Steps:
01 - Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onion, leek, and carrot. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
02 - Add potatoes, bay leaf, and fish stock to pot. Bring to rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until potatoes are nearly tender.
03 - Gently add salmon cubes to simmering broth. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
04 - Stir in heavy cream and chopped dill. Season with salt and white pepper. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes without boiling to prevent cream from curdling.
05 - Remove from heat and discard bay leaf. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish generously with reserved fresh dill.
