Ingredients

3 tablespoon Butter

1 medium Leek halved length wise, thinly sliced

1/3 cup Carrot grated

1 clove garlic finely chopped

3 tablespoon Flour

3 1/2 cups Chicken Stock or fish stock

75 gram Smoked salmon (lox) chopped

2 medium Red potatoes cubed

1 ea Bay leaf

1/3 pound Scallops thinly sliced

1 tablespoon Fresh Dill chopped

1/3 cup Light cream

1/8 teaspoon Salt to taste

1/8 teaspoon Black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt the butter in a medium-sized pot set over medium heat. Add the leek, carrot and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes. Mix in the flour and cook 1-2 minutes more. Slowly, stirring steadily, pour in the stock. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, and then adjust the heat downward to maintain that gentle simmer. Add the smoked salmon, potatoes and bay leaf and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in the scallops and dill and cook 3-4 minutes more, or until the scallops are just cooked through. Mix in the cream and heat through 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

It was delicious. My husband interrupted his eating to rave about it, only to eat and rave some more! My only suggestion would be to chop everything ahead of time, as there was not enough time to chop while cooking it.
