As we get closer to the holiday season, our schedule gets busier and busier and I find the time I have available to make dinner getting smaller and smaller. During these times, I definitely rely heavily on meal planning  and also on using recipes, like this Pressure Cooker Swedish Salmon Potato Soup, that cooks easily without a lot of active cooking time or prep needed.

Crock-Pot Salmon Potato Soup

I am totally in love with my new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker because it can cook meals up to 70% faster than traditional cooking and it helps me prepare meals all week – no matter how busy I may be. I can choose to slow cook or pressure cook with the push of button, making this a dream because now I only need one small appliance versus two! Even better, I can also use the new Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker for steaming, browning, and sautéing. The 8 built-in preset buttons make cooking practically effortless.

This recipe for Salmon Potato Soup can easily be made using either the pressure cooker or slow cooker feature of the Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker. I use the pressure cooker feature most often with this recipe but you can easily slow cook it as well depending on your schedule.

Ingredients for Swedish Salmon Potato Soup

2 Tbsp butter
½ cup shredded carrots
1 leek, sliced
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups chicken stock
1 lb salmon filet, de-skinned and cut into chunks
Salt and pepper
7 oz crème fraiche
3 Tbsp dill, chopped

Let’s Make It:

1. Using the sauté function, melt butter. Add carrots and leek. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until they begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Add potatoes and chicken stock. Close lid to the Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker and set to low pressure. Cook for 6 minutes and then manually release the pressure on the cooker (keeping your hands and face away from the steam). Add salmon and season with salt and pepper. Replace lid and set on low pressure for another 5 minutes. Wait 10 minutes and then release the pressure on the cooker.

3. Stir in crème fraiche and dill. Serve with crusty bread.

This soup has some Finnish origins but it was introduced to us by our Swedish au pair and her family. While our au pair’s mom was visiting, she made it for us as one of their favorite meals. While we don’t usually eat a lot of salmon, we all fell in love with this soup.

As I mentioned above, easy recipes are just a piece to the puzzle of getting dinner done during these busy times. Meal planning is essential. So, I’ve put together a delicious weekly meal plan, including my soup, that uses the Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker in different ways. You can download your own copy (with clickable links included) here and get each of the recipes by visiting the links below. You can also find a blank version for use over and over here. While many of the recipes are written for the slow cooker method, the cooking time can be drastically cut down by using the pressure cooker setting on the Crock-Pot® Express Crock Multi Cooker. For example, the recipe for Thursday below takes 6-8 hours on low using the slow cooker method but would easily be done in 25-30 minutes using the pressure cooker setting.  Using the included recipe book that comes with the product is a great place to start for getting a feel for cooking times on different types of meats, vegetables and other ingredients.

  1. I LOVE a great Crock-pot full of YUMMY Macaroni & Cheese or Crock~pot Vegetable Lasagna …and many more…

  2. Fantastic tasty recipe. Ingredient amount just right. However, we added some chicken boullion to the stock for richer flavour. Plan to add some sliced celery and spinach next time.
