Fiskesuppe (Creamy Norwegian Fish Soup) Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
  • 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 cups fish stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon dill, fresh or dried
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

    Make sure not to brown the vegetables to keep the soup's color light.
  2. Add Fish Stock

    Pour in the fish stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Using homemade fish stock enhances the soup's flavor significantly.
  3. Add Fish and Shrimp

    Stir in the fish fillets and shrimp. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the fish is cooked through and shrimp is pink.

    Cut fish into chunks for even cooking.
  4. Incorporate Cream

    Slowly stir in the heavy cream and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and dill.

    Avoid boiling after adding the cream to prevent curdling.
  5. Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread.

    A sprinkle of lemon juice can brighten the dish.
