Cut the end off the leeks and run them under water to remove dirt.

Slice the bottom white part of the leeks into very thin rounds.

Cut the ends off the carrots, peel them, and slice into rounds.

Dice half of a white onion.

Soak the cubed potatoes in water to prevent browning while prepping other ingredients.

Cut the skin off the salmon fillets and cube the salmon into 1/2 inch pieces.

In a medium sauce pot over medium heat, melt unsalted butter.

Add the leeks, carrots, and diced white onion to the pot and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, adding salt and pepper.

Add the cubed salmon and heavy cream to the pot, cover, and simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes until the potatoes and salmon are cooked through.

Add chopped dill to the soup, cover, and let cook for 1 more minute.
