📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Lohikeitto is a creamy salmon soup loved in Finnish homes and cafés. Salmon, potato, leek, and carrot are simmered and finished with cream and plenty of dill. Gentle in flavor, it's served with rye bread and butter — a staple winter lunch.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a lakeside cottage, the scent of dill rises from a pot on the wood stove as people sip soup and gaze at the snowy view outside.
