zucchini soup with salmon

It has been a long time since I tried out a new recipe. I don't know why zucchini came to my mind yesterday... I have a small book about zucchini, asparagus and avocado. Pulled it out from the bookshelf and chose a recipe with fish; Zucchini soup with fish.

Some of the ingredients;

carrot, zucchini, leek, onion

butter, flour (forgot the cream)

the yummy salmon and parsley

Fry vegetables in butter

...add zucchini and simmer.

Yummy colors, isn't it?! :)

Add cream, mix and then add salmon and parsley

The table is set!

The recipe - serves 4.

1 medium size zucchini

1 red onion

4 carrots

100 grams butter

100 grams flour

400 grams fish fillet (I used salmon)

2 litres fish stock

or 2 litres water + 4 cubes fish bouillon

3 dl cream

1 bunch parsley or chives

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cut vegetables in slices, fry in butter. Use a casserole.

Add water (fish bouillon) and flour, mix until it gets a creamy consistence.

Let simmer for 10 min

Add cream

Add salmon fillets

Let the soup simmer for about 8-10 min

Add chopped parsley or chives

In addition to the recipe, I added the following:

1 medium size leek

10-12 curry leaves

cayenne pepper to taste

I didn't have fish stock (cubes), so I used green pepper cubes (works well too).

2dl of the water can be substituted by dry white wine.  

I've never been a big fan of soups, so when I make soups, I always reduce the amount to liquid to approx half, depending on the soup. In this recipe I added 1 litre of water only. I love the creamy consistence! :)
