Notes
- The golden rule when adding cream/yogurt/sour cream or creme fraiche to any hot soup/stew is that they must have the same temperature to the hot liquid, or they will curdle and you will end up with a not-so-appealing dish - still tasty though!
- Simply add a few tablespoons of the hot liquid to the cream, mixing well after each tablespoon added, then remove the pot from the heat and add the cream - no curdling whatsoever!
- Salmon cooks super fast in a hot broth, it really doesn't need more than 5 minutes, so make sure the veggies are nearly cooked through before adding the fish it - cooked for too long, the salmon will not keep its shape.
