Serves: 8
Hands-on time: 30 minutes.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 medium Russet or Idaho potatoes, peeled
  • 2 carrots, peeled
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 32-oz container low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 6-oz cans salmon packed in water, without bones or skin
  • 2 cups corn, freshly shucked or frozen
  • 1 to 2 tsp paprika
  • Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp dill, finely minced

CORN BREAD

Makes 10 to 12 2-inch squares.

  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 egg whites, whisked
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Olive oil cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Place potatoes and carrots in a medium sauce pot; cover with water. Boil over medium-high for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain potatoes and carrots in a colander and pour cold water over. Let cool for 5 minutes. Remove potatoes and carrots and dice.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat large stockpot over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Mist with cooking spray. Add celery and onion and saute for 2 minutes or until onions become translucent.
  3. Add oil and flour, whisking briskly. Add milk, whisking in a 1/4 cup at a time. (This will create a roux, or thickener, for your soup.) Add broth and cook for at least 5 minutes. If soup seems a little thin, add more flour (no more than 1 tbsp), a 1/2 tsp at a time, and whisk briskly. Add salmon, diced potatoes and carrots, corn and paprika. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for at least 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add dill just 1 minute before serving.

CORN BREAD INSTRUCTIONS:

  3. Spray an 8- to 10-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Cut into 2-inch squares.
