Number Of Ingredients 12

3 leeks, white and light-green parts only
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into wedges, fronds reserved for garnish
2 celery stalks, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 sprigs fresh thyme
One 14 1/2-ounce can fat-free vegetable stock
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
One 1-pound salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 bunch (about 3 ounces) spinach, washed and cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips

Steps:

  • Slice leeks crosswise into 1/4-inch coins. Place in bowl of cold water; move leeks with fingers so sand falls to bottom. Lift leeks from water with fingers or slotted spoon, and drain; set aside.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks, carrots, fennel, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add parsley, thyme, stock, salt, pepper, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook 30 minutes. Turn off heat; add salmon and spinach. Poach until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Garnish with fennel fronds; serve.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover salmon, and it's also a very healthy dish.

This is probably the worst soup I have ever tasted. It was watery, bland, and the salmon was fishy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland, watery, and the salmon was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The soup was very watery and the salmon was overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. Otherwise, it's a good recipe.
