Notes

To ensure the best flavor, use fresh salmon and high-quality chicken broth. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch mixed with water before adding the cream. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and feel free to add extra herbs such as thyme or parsley for a more aromatic experience.
