Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 finely chopped celery stalk
- 1 medium, finely chopped carrot
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or fish stock
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 8 ounces, chopped smoked salmon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Slowly pour in the chicken or fish stock and the dry white wine, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the smoked salmon, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, blend in batches and return the bisque to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Simmer for 5 more minutes, but do not let the mixture come to a boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve the bisque hot, garnished with additional chopped dill if desired. Enjoy!
