1. 1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Add the leeks and garlic and sautéthem for 2 minutes.
2. 2. Add the potato, celery, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. 3. Add the broth and simmer until the potato is tender, about 15 minutes.
4. 4. Add the tomato paste and milk, then the salmon, and bring the mixture back to a simmer for a few minutes (but don't let it boil, or the milk will separate).
5. 5. As it simmers, stir in the cream.
