Notes

Recipe Card Tips

  • Skip canned salmon. It disintegrates into the soup instead of staying in distinct chunks.
  • Add the salmon toward the end of cooking so it stays intact instead of breaking apart.
  • Use a good stock, homemade bone broth if you have it. It makes a real difference in the final flavor.
