Mediterranean Salmon Soup
Ingredients
- 2 cups stock or water
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- 1 cup frozen green beans
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 cup grated potato
- 1 cup grated cauliflower
- 1 cup salmon pieces
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 cups tomatoes
- 1 salt and pepper
Instructions
- Grate the carrot, potatoes and cauliflower.
- Chop thinly the onion, the tomatoes and the kale. And mince the garlic.
- Next, chop the salmon filet into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the tomatoes, two cloves of garlic and the onion to a cooking pot with some olive oil and saute for about 3 minutes until fragrant and the tomatoes look more like a sauce.
- Then, stir in the carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, oregano and hot paprika. Stir for a few minutes – just to combine and then add the kale, salmon and water or stock. If you’re using water – add some salt to the soup. If stock – it’s usually with salt, so no need to add salt at this point.
- Cover the soup and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- After the 20 minutes, add in the green beans and cook for 10 more minutes. If needed add more stock or water and salt.
- In the last 2 minutes, add in some dill and the last garlic clove and cook. Then turn off and enjoy the soup immediately!
