Fennel-Potato Soup with Smoked Salmon

This elegant fennel and potato soup with smoked salmon is a sophisticated take on a classic root vegetable broth. The delicate, aniseed notes of fresh fennel and fennel seeds pair beautifully with the earthiness of potatoes, creating a silky base that feels indulgent despite being dairy-free. The addition of vibrant green fronds and a touch of saltiness from the fish makes this a standout choice for those seeking a lighter yet flavourful lunch.

Ideal for a healthy midweek meal or a refined starter for a dinner party, this nutritious soup relies on simple, fresh ingredients. The smoked salmon provides a luxurious finish, while the leek adds a subtle sweetness to every spoonful. Serve it alongside some crusty sourdough for a satisfying, homemade dish that is as comforting as it is impressive.

Ingredients for Fennel-Potato Soup with Smoked Salmon

  • 45ml butter

  • 2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, chopped, fronds chopped and reserved

  • 1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise

  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds

  • 675g russet potatoes (about 2 large), peeled, cut into 2-inch cubes

How to make Fennel-Potato Soup with Smoked Salmon

Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add fennel, leek, and fennel seeds and cook until vegetables begin to soften, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes and 1325ml broth. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium. Cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. Return soup to pot and rewarm over medium heat, stirring often and thinning with more broth by 60ml fuls for desired consistency. Season soup with salt and pepper.

Divide soup among bowls. Garnish with smoked salmon and reserved chopped fennel fronds.
