Spinach Soup with Salmon

Eat healthy and you’ve got a better chance of staying healthy - and that’s especially important now that we’re in the middle of a global pandemic and on corona-lockdown. So I got down and dirty with a big bag of spinach and made some spinach salmon soup.

Ingredients (serves 4):
3 tbsp butter
1 medium-size onion
2 shallots
3 cloves garlic
300g fresh, washed spinach
200mL cream
1L vegetable bouillon
4 salmon steaks (mine had the skin on one side)

Instructions:
1. Chop the onions and shallots and glaze in butter. Sauté for 4-5 minutes.

2. Finely chop the garlic and add to the onions/shallots. Sauté for another minute or 2, then add the spinach and stir until it reduces in size.

3. Add the vegetable bouillon and boil for 15 minutes.

4. Finely mix with a hand blender or blender.

5. Add the cream and stir through. Reheat the soup but do not boil

6. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet and carefully place the salmon steaks in the pan, skin side down. Sauté for 5 or so minutes, until the skin is browned but the top is still pink.

7. Divide the soup over four bowls, and place a salmon steak in the middle of each bowl. :)
