Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

- 50 g butter
- 1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
- 500 g potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 l vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk (400 ml)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- celery and garlic flavored salt (or to taste)
- a pinch of saffron
- 300 g seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid)
- 200 g fresh salmon cubes

Preparing the soup:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into evenly sized cubes. This will ensure even cooking. Also, chop the red onion into large pieces to add an intense flavor to the soup.

2. Sauté the seafood and salmon: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seafood and salmon cubes, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they turn slightly golden. Remove them to a plate and season with flavored salt. This step will add an intense flavor to the soup.

3. Sauté the onion: In the same skillet, add the butter and red onion. Sauté over low heat for 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

4. Boil the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are very soft and can be easily mashed with a fork.

5. Transform into puree: Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the potatoes and onion until you achieve a creamy consistency. Once you have the desired texture, add the coconut milk and saffron. If it seems too thick, gradually add some of the remaining broth until you reach the ideal consistency.

6. Finish the soup: Add the remaining seafood and salmon cubes to the soup. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to combine the flavors and heat all the ingredients. Season to taste with flavored salt.

7. Serving: Pour the soup into deep bowls. If you want a more elegant look, sprinkle a few saffron strands on top and add thin slices of smoked salmon (optional). Serve alongside seafood skewers for a complete culinary experience.

Tips and useful advice:

- Fresh seafood: Make sure the seafood is fresh. You can use a combination of shrimp, mussels, and squid to add diversity in texture and flavor.
- Vegetable broth: If you want to add extra flavor, use homemade vegetable broth. This will make a difference in the final taste of the soup.
- Vegetarian option: You can turn this soup into a vegetarian option by omitting the seafood and salmon, and adding vegetables like carrots or zucchini for an extra nutrient boost.

Nutritional benefits:
This soup is an excellent source of protein, thanks to the seafood and salmon, and provides a good dose of carbohydrates from the potatoes. The coconut milk adds healthy fats, while the red onion is rich in antioxidants, contributing to a stronger immune system.
