Shake the can before buying. The more liquid inside, the less fish there is.
Preparation
Step 1
Start by preparing the listed ingredients. You can replace pink salmon with another canned white or red fish, such as tuna, mackerel, or saury. Adjust the vegetable selection to your taste.
Step 2
Remove the canned pink salmon from the can, discard the bones, and break it into pieces. If one can is not enough, use two.
Step 3
Peel and dice the potatoes into medium-sized cubes.
Step 4
Peel the carrot and grate it on a coarse grater.
Step 5
Finely chop the onion. If you or your children don’t like onions, you can either omit them or add a whole onion and remove it later.
Step 6
Pour water into a pot, add the diced potatoes, and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent.
Step 8
Add the grated carrot and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Then, add tomato paste and continue sautéing for a couple more minutes, stirring constantly. You can replace the tomato paste with canned tomatoes in their juice, fresh tomatoes, or ketchup.
Step 9
Transfer the sautéed vegetables, fish, and bay leaves to the pot with potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir well and bring the soup to a boil.
Step 10
Add processed cheese and cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously until the cheese fully melts.
Step 11
Let the soup sit covered for 7-10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Step 12
Serve the Canned Pink Salmon Soup with Potatoes in bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy your meal!
