Well, we have almost made it through January and are speeding towards February, and in my house that means we are smack in the middle of Soup Season!

I have been making chicken soups and veggie soups and all kinds of slow cooker soups On The Regular, and I’ve been trying to expand my seafood soup repertoire beyond my good old shrimp soup recipes, so please meet this creamy, dreamy, easy-to-make salmon vegetable bisque!

What makes a bisque a bisque?

Aside from the fanciness of saying “we are having bisque for lunch today, honey,” I do love a bisque because it translates into a soup that is smooth and creamy and generally made with seafood.

A truly authentic bisque will start with a base made from boiling up seafood shells, and will usually feature cream and wine, so my humble little salmon veggie bisque is 100% not authentic because it does none of those things.

But it IS creamy and it DOES feature seafood, so I figure a little poetic license is okay!

The creaminess is going to come from pureeing a whole bunch of veggies (more on that in a sec) and then swirling in some evaporated milk, which helps give it that extra velvety texture.

What is the difference between evaporated milk and regular milk?

It’s all in the name – evaporated milk is milk where more than half the water content has been, well, evaporated. Leaving behind a more concentrated, creamy texture that is just perfect for this bisque.

So you have your veggies, your evaporated milk, and the last thing you need is your salmon. As always, try and get wild caught salmon if you possible can. And away we go!

You are going to start by simmering up your veggies – sweet onion, celery and potatoes and parsley in some chicken broth, and then whirling it all up in your blender.

Or in my case, blending it right in the pot with my beloved immersion blender, saving both time and dishwashing. I am all for anything that is a kitchen timesaver, which might explain why I recently did this with my fridge.

Please note that the one area I don’t need a label for is the shelf that holds my cans of Truly. HA.

Meantime, once you have your veggies all nice and creamy, you are going to stir in some evaporated milk, and then you are going to simmer your lovely piece of wild caught salmon until it is just done.

Scoop it out, gently shred it into bite sized pieces and stir it back in. And stand back and look at this fancy bisque that you have made in less than an hour.
