How to Make Smoked Salmon Bisque Recipe

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 leek, chopped, 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms have released their moisture (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 cup clam juice, 8 ounces smoked salmon, chopped, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 cups milk until smooth.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  7. Gradually whisk the cream and flour mixture into the soup.
  8. Stir in 4 ounces fresh salmon, cut into small pieces. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
  9. Use an immersion blender to partially purée the soup to your desired consistency, or carefully transfer some or all of the soup to a standing blender and purée in batches. (Be careful when blending hot liquids!)
  10. Season with salt to taste.
  11. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving.
