- Leeks: Be sure and remove any tough outer layers and be sure and use most of the white part.
- White onion: You could substitute a sweet onion or even leave the onion out if needed.
- Russet potatoes:Russet potatoes melt perfectly in a soup, but you can use any kind of potatoes you have on hand.
- Fish stock:I was able to find fish stock at my local grocery store, but if you cannot find any you could make your own (instructions below) or substitute vegetable stock.
- Salmon:Look for salmon that is a bright pink color. Make sure to remove the skin before cutting it into cubes.
- Heavy whipping cream:You could use milk or half and half.
- Leeks are a traditional part of this recipe but you could leave the leek out and use only white onion if you prefer.
- Some versions of this recipe call for carrots and some do not. Feel free to add or leave out.
- If you cannot find fish stock, you can use clam stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock.
- I’ve seen versions of this recipe that call for a dash of allspice or lemon juice. Feel free to play around with the spices to find what you like.
