Salmon Soup

Happy Monday my friend! I hope your week is going great so far.

My start of the week has been hectic as always. Kids are keeping me busy but I love every second of it.
Speaking of being busy, last week was intense. I had to prepare and shoot two recipes in one day. Do you know what's it like to make and shoot 2 dishes while kids are running and screaming around? It's impossible. It's stressful and overwhelming. But moms are the greatest multitaskers. And I'm proud of myself, because despite the stress and pressure to get everything done as soon as possible, I was able to make 2 incredibly yummy dishes, one of which is this Salmon Soup.

Normally, I make soups for lunch. But since Salmon Soup is high protein and it's a type of dish I don't make on a regular basis, I decided to prepare it for dinner. So when my husband came back home from work and heard me saying we're having a soup for dinner, he was not excited at all. Unlike me, he's never been a soup person. But then something happened and as soon he sipped his first spoon of soup, I noticed a content smile on his face and a nod of approval. That was it. My salmon soup was so good, that even my picky eating husband loved it.

Let me tell you what you can expect from this Salmon soup:

• good amount of protein
• healthy fat
• creamy
• cheesy
• super yummy

It's a kind of soup that you would want to make during cold winter days to keep you happy and energised.
