Salmon & Pepper Soup

• This soup is delicious and I think it will be the basis of at least two other recipes.
• It is based on one found in one of my recent book purchases in Wrocław.
• Łosoś is salmon in Polish
• Did you know that Poland is a big importer of salmon, much of which comes from Sweden?

Ingredients

• 2 onions
• 3 peppers – different colours
• 200-300g fresh salmon -(1-2 whole pieces best)
• 1½ litres vegetable stock
• ½ teaspoon hot paprika
• A little sunflower oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• *
• Optional – chopped flat leaved parsley or chives to garnish 

Method

• Cut the onions in half and then slice then thinly.
• De-seed the peppers and then cut into long thin slices.
• Lightly fry the onion and peppers in a little sunflower oil till soft.
• Add the paprika and the vegetable stock.
• Bring to the boil and then simmer gently for around 10 minutes.
• Add the pieces of salmon and simmer for around 15 minutes.
• Take out the salmon, remove the skin and cut into chunks.
• Put the salmon back into the soup.
• Season if necessary.
• *
• Garnish with green herbs if you have them.
• *
•  Great with crusty French style bread.
