## Ingredients

- 400 g salmon, cut into chunks
- 250 g potatoes, bite-sized (baby potatoes are my favorite)

## Instructions

1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot. Sauté the leeks with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the potatoes, carrots, water, and broth cube. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are almost tender.
3. Gently stir in the salmon, lemon zest, dill, and cream.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the fish is perfectly cooked.
5. Mix corn starch with 1 tablespoon of hot water, then stir it into the soup to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Ladle into bowls, squeeze in fresh lemon juice, and enjoy!
