INGREDIENTS – Serves 4

• EVOO
• 1 small Fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 1 small Leek, thinly sliced
• ¼ Tsp Smoked Paprika
• ¼ Tsp Fennel Seeds
• ¼ Tsp Celery Salt
• ¼ Tsp Dill
• 1 Cup Gooseneck Vineyards Wickford White (or dry white wine)
• 5 Cups Chicken Stock (sub veg stock, if needed)
• 1 Tsp Fish Sauce
• Arrowroot Slurry
• ½ lb. Baby Potatoes (we love @traderjoes Teeny Tiny Potatoes), sliced into ½ in rounds
• 1 Cup Coconut Milk
• 2 Salmon Fillets, cut into 1-2 in cubes
• Kosher Salt & Pepper
• Garnish: Fresh Dill

 

DIRECTIONS

• Heat 2-3 Tbsp EVOO in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add fennel & garlic, stir and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add leeks and stir, 3-4 minutes. Add smoked paprika, fennel seeds, celery salt and dill, salt and pepper, stir to combine for 2 minutes.

• Pour in wine and stir, simmering for 2-3 minutes until reduced. Add stock and fish sauce, stir to combine.

• Make arrowroot slurry (1 tsp. Arrowroot w/2 tsp. water), stir into soup. Add potatoes, stir. Increase to high heat for 2-3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 7-9 minutes, checking potatoes along the way. Note: You want them to be softened but not mushy.

(Optional: To get a thicker, chowder consistency, scoop out 1-2 cups of the soup & blend. Add back in and stir!)

• Add in salmon and poach for 2-3 minutes, check broth and salt to taste.

• Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh dill or fennel fronds.
