Nutrition experts recommend 2 fish meals per week. This soup recipe from Barbara Parks of Renton, Washington is a tempting way to meet this dietary goal and extend expensive fresh salmon. Even though it uses 2% milk, it has a rich mouth feel. Serve with a salad and a crusty whole-grain bread. Ingredients:
1 small sweet red pepper |
1 salmon fillet (8 ounces) |
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot |
1 tablespoon chopped shallot |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth |
2 cups 2% milk |
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional |
Directions:
1. Broil red pepper 4 in. from the heat until skin blisters, about 5 minutes. With tongs, rotate pepper a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place pepper in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove stems and seeds. Set roasted pepper aside.
2. Broil salmon 4 in. from the heat for 8-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Break salmon into small pieces; set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, saute carrot and shallot in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
4. Transfer to a blender; add roasted pepper. Cover and puree until smooth. Return to the pan. Stir in the milk, seafood seasoning, Liquid Smoke if desired and salmon; heat through. Yield: 4 servings.
