Salmon Bisque

Contributed byBeth Davis
Creamy salmon bisque in a white bowl, garnished with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup celery (chopped)
  • 4 cup potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (do not use black)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 can 14 1/4-oz. no-salt-added chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 can 12-oz. evaporated skim milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 pound salmon fillet (skinned and cut into 1/2-inch pieces - remember, the soup is only going to be as good as the quality of salmon that you use)
  • 2 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Yield: 4 Servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Instructions

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion & celery; sauté 10 minutes or until tender. Add potatos and next 4 ingredients (potatoes through broth). Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender. Place this mixture in blender or food processor until smooth. Return to pan, stir in wine and milk. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lemon juice and fish; cook 10 minutes or until fish is done, stir frequently. Sprinkle with parsley.

It’s kind of labor-intensive but worth every minute. Skinning and cutting the salmon is the worst part. I use no-salt, no-fat chicken broth and skim evaporated milk, but you could make it high-test if you prefer.
