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

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the smoked salmon, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 9

Serve the bisque hot, garnished with additional chopped dill if desired. Enjoy!
