Creamy Potato & Smoked Salmon Soup
Leave a commentFebruary 13, 2013 by thehaphazardchef
Whenever I’m feeling very lazy and there is little in the fridge, soup is on the menu. This is very simple, doesn’t require any liquidizing and is a lovely warmer on these cold winter eves.
Makes 2 big bowls:
1 stick of celery, diced
200g potatoes, diced
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
500ml chicken stock
50ml dbl cream
1 pack of smoked salmon
Sauté the celery and garlic with a knob of butter in a deep pot for about 5 minutes, until the celery is softened.
Add in the diced potatoes and cook for a further 2 minutes, to coat them in the butter & garlic. Pour in the hot stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Add in the double cream and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
The potatoes should be soft by now, so turn off the heat, season with lots of pepper and a bit of salt, finally adding in the smoked salmon and STIR. Don’t worry if the salmon starts to cook in the heat a little, it’s inevitable!
Enjoy with very buttery bread.
