About

This is a rich creamy soup, sufficient as a single course with a green side salad. It is very good served with slices of white bread that have been pan-fried in butter. You could also serve it with just-grilled bread. Get your fishmonger to give you the salmon central bone with tail if possible, so that you can make a good broth.
