Notes

Use fish stock instead of chicken broth for a richer flavor.
Add cream or coconut milk at the end for a creamy salmon soup variation.
Do not overcook salmon — remove as soon as it flakes easily.
Swap potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb version.
Add leafy greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrition.
