Recently, my Aunt was kind enough to do some shopping for us while she was out doing her own shopping. Along with the salmon she got on sale for an amazing price, she gave us leeks and a jar of Bomba sauce from Peter and Paul’s Gifts. When I saw these ingredients, I knew I wanted to make a salmon and leek soup recipe- so that’s what I did! (I know the photo doesn’t make it look too enticing, but the flavor is 1000 times more convincing, I promise).

In addition to these ingredients, I looked in our pantry and fridge and added a few other ingredients to enhance the health benefits. Comforting broth, garlic, spinach, ginger… it all came together to create a soup that was delicious. It was so good, that we needed to pace ourselves so we didn’t eat all of it at once. As a bonus, I only used about a third of the large cut of salmon we got, so I was able to bake the rest for other meal prep.

While recipes are great as guidelines, I highly recommend looking at what you have available and experimenting. Add a dash of something here, another ingredient there… it’s a fun way to learn what combinations you like!

Salmon and Leek Soup

Ingredients

1 Large Salmon Filet, cubed/sliced into bite-sized pieces

1 Large Leek, sliced

4 Garlic Cloves, minced

1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, chopped/grated (I saved some extra to make ginger water as I cooked- delicious)

4-6 Cups Vegetable or Chicken Broth

1-2 Cups Spinach, Chopped

1 14oz Can Coconut Milk

Bomba Sauce from Peter and Paul’s Gifts (The Collection 82 Bomba is a traditional Italian sauce made using the finest ingredients including spicy red chili peppers that can add a touch of heat to your pasta dish.)

A Dash or Two of Dried Thyme and/or Rosemary

1-2 Tbsps Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Instructions

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add in the garlic, ginger, and a dash of salt and pepper; allow it to cook until aromatic (about 30 seconds to a minute to ensure it does not burn). Then, add in the slices of leek and the thyme/rosemary, continuing to stir.

Add the cubed/sliced salmon pieces, and the Bomba sauce (or alternative option of your choice). Depending on your heat/spice tolerance, you may wish to add more or less of your selected ingredient. This is especially important if you’re cooking for guests. Once the salmon is coated well, add in the broth and coconut milk, stir well.

Allow this to come to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover, allowing for the steam to escape. Cook for about 5-10 minutes. Add in the spinach, and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Check to make sure the salmon is cooked through, and remove from heat.

Season with pepper, and serve.

Enjoy!
