FAVORITE - My green soup!

Dear readers,

With great pleasure I like to introduce my fab zucchini green soup with salmon and basil.

I introduced this soup at my work when I was a student and by my "almost" in-law parents and the rest of the family, I have been accepted.... When the first cup was finished almost everyone was asking for more. So please try it out!

The recipe for 4 persons:

• 3 x zucchini chopped in cubes
• 1 slice of garlic
• 2 small onions, chopped
• 1 liter of chicken bouillon
• 1 teaspoon with dried basil
• 125 ml Crème fraîche
• pepper and salt
• Salmon in  small slices
• Fresh Basil
• Cayenne Pepper to add
• Olive oil

Equipment:

• Blender
• Frying pan
• Medium-sized cooking pot

Workout:

1. Slice the zucchine in small pieces together with the onions and garlic. Use your frying pan to bake in olive oil the onion with garlic for a couple of minutes when it is slight brown and add the zucchini, bake everything for approx. 10 minutes.

2. Add the baked vegetable in a medium-sized cooking pot,and add 3/4 of the bouillon and bring it to boil for an half hour. After 30 minutes reduce the heat, and add the last part of bouillon, basil herbs, peper and salt, and wait one hour.

3. When boiled, puree the vegetables with a blender and at the crème fraîche to puree all together and stir well. Adjust the seasoning for the taste.

4. Slice the salmon and fresh basil in small pieces.

5. Pour the salmon first in a bowl, add the zucchini soup and garnish with cayenne pepper and fresh basil.

Wine:

When you make a wine food combination take a closer look what kind of ingredients you add to the dish and select your wine. Of course you need some knowledge before getting started with this. One of the basic characteristics of this soup is that it is velvety and has a lot of flavours due to the herbs.. What you do not want is a wine which is too overwhelming. I made the decision to choose a white wine. When I was in France, Bourgonge, the Chardonnay is dominating grape variety and on of my favorite wines. One of the main characteristics of the wine are; it has wood, which add some caramel flavors, it has flavors which are not very domination, like peach and apple, and due to the fact that it has age it becomes velvety. Which makes a good combination with this soup.

 

Last but not least enjoy it too the fullest!

 

Love,

Annalia
