I've been making this one a lot lately...
Cod, salmon
Tiny shrimp
Butter
White wine
Leek
Yellow onion
Celery root (or celery stalk or celery seed)
Carrots
Thyme
Oregano
Parsley
Red chili
salt
pepper
Chopped tomato
Bay leaf
Optional: fresh chopped basil and cilantro
Wild rice, or Milk + flour for thickening
Lemon
Saute vegetables in butter (leek, onion, celery, carrots). Add spices and herbs and stir them in a bit so they soften. Add water, white wine, shrimp, tomato, and a bay leaf. If you feel like fresh basil and cilantro, add it now. If you're going with wild rice instead of milk, add the rice now, too. Bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer. *Secret ingredient alert*: a teaspoon of sugar at this point is surprisingly effective for bringing out the other flavors... shhhh!
Rice option: Let the rice cook until tender (30 mins or so).
Milk option: simmer for 30 mins or so to let veggies cook and flavors blend. Then mix a little flour in a glass with cold milk, and pour into soup to thicken. Simmer another few mins.
Final 5-10 mins: Add the salmon and cod, and let it gently poach just until cooked.
Remove from heat and serve with lots of lemon juice!

Is this what we had a few weekends ago at your guys' place, with Jan? SOOOO delicious! I think I ate that night until I hurt!
ReplyDeleteI finally made this! Very different ingredients, because I didn't have most of these - garlic, onions, potatoes, a few carrots, bell peppers, and canned stewed tomatoes, plus the spices, chicken broth, white wine, rice, and lemon juice. I did the little bit of sugar, and I probably put too much - it has a noticeable sweetness - I was thinking tablespoon instead of teaspoon. Still, very tasty!
