Directions
Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Soup, This lightly-creamed soup is truly special. It works as comfort food for a casual soup & salad dinner or a starter course for an elegant dinner party. On our recent trip to the US, my SIL gave me the recipe. She said her mother had copied it from a cookbook & did not recall the source. I wish I knew who to acknowledge & thank for this classy taste sensation. I hope you try this & enjoy it as we did. PLS READ NOTES shown as steps 7, 8 & 9 of prep… *Edited To Add* This recipe was revised to include the addition of garlic & Old Bay Seasoning., Wow – we just loved this soup. I made this exactly as posted, except used a 15 oz. can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes in place of the fresh tomatoes. I did use the vodka and I stirred the chives into the soup. I thought the amount of lemon juice was just perfect, but I did add some freshly ground sea salt for flavor. Made by a Tasty Tester for the ZWT9 Scandinavian Seafood Challenge.

I Left Out the Vodka None in the House!, Subbed Dry White Wine & Frankly Doubt I Will Ever Use the Vodka. I Pd Homage to a Dh Pers Pref & Subbed Diced Broccoli Florets For the Spinach. I Pd Homage to 1 of My Own by Adding 4 Oz Baby Shrimp. |

Pers Pref Are Often at the Heart of Any Success a Recipe Enjoys. I Found This Soup in Need of Salt, but Dh Did Not. He Found the Lemon Juice a Bit Excessive, but I Did Not. Bottom Line Is Tasting For Your Pers Pref Is Advised. |
