Salmon Bisque

Nutrition experts recommend 2 fish meals per week. This soup recipe from Barbara Parks of Renton, Washington is a tempting way to meet this dietary goal and extend expensive fresh salmon. Even though it uses 2% milk, it has a rich mouth feel. Serve with a salad and a crusty whole-grain bread.

4 ServingsPrep: 35 min. Cook: 15 min.

Ingredients

1 small sweet red pepper
1 salmon fillet (8 ounces)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 cups 2% milk
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional

Directions

Broil red pepper 4 in. from the heat until skin blisters, about 5
minutes. With tongs, rotate pepper a quarter turn. Broil and rotate
until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place
pepper in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off
and discard charred skin. Remove stems and seeds. Set roasted pepper
aside.
Broil salmon 4 in. from the heat for 8-12 minutes or until fish
flakes easily with a fork. Break salmon into small pieces; set
aside.
In a large saucepan, saute carrot and shallot in oil until tender.
Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended.
