Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2-3 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
1 onion, diced (or sub 2 leeks, sliced or 2 fat shallots)
1 small fennel bulb, 1 1/2 cups diced
1 cup celery, sliced
2-4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon thyme (dry, or 2 teaspoons fresh)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/3 cup vermouth, cooking sherry or white wine (or leave it out, see notes)
3 cups fish or chicken stock- if using chicken broth see notes, on how to enhance
3/4 lb baby potatoes, thinly sliced (1/4 inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 lb salmon, skinless. (or ok to sub other fish like cod or shrimp), cut into 1 -2 inch pieces ( the more uniform, the better)
2 cups whole milk (or half & half or a combo, or dairy-free milk like coconut milk, or 1/2- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish: fennel fronds, lemon wedges, fresh dill or tarragon.

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat, and saute onion, fennel and celery until fragrant, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, fennel seeds, thyme and saute two more minutes, stirring. Add the smoked paprika.
  • Add vermouth, and cook it off, about 1-2 minutes. Add stock, salt, thyme and bay, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add potatoes and stir. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over med-low heat until tender, about 8-10 minutes (check at 7 mins, be careful to not overcook). While this is cooking prep the salmon.
  • Cut salmon into 2-inch pieces, removing any of the brown fat ( see notes) and bones. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Once the potatoes are just fork-tender, add the milk and bring to a low simmer (do not boil) and add the salmon, gently poaching it in the soup for just about 2 minutes. Turn heat off. Fish will continue to cook. If you continue to simmer the soup any longer it may cause a slight curdling. ( Don't worry, it's still edible, but not as pretty.) Flake the fish apart, into bite-sized pieces, with a fork.
  • Taste, adjust seasonings to your liking and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with fennel fronds, lemon wedges, fresh dill or tarragon.
  • Soup will keep 3 days in the fridge.

I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington
