This easy to make Finnish soup is delicious!
I'm in a relationship with a man who is very proud of his Finnish culture. He has a few friends who have been making him Finnish food items, and I decided it was time to finally make my move and learn how to cook for my Finnish man.
Lohikeitto is Finnish Salmon Soup. It really is easy to make, and the most time-consuming part is prep but even that doesn't take long.
