WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH SMOKE SALMON AND CHIVES
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
* 2 tablespoons butter * 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped * 1 small yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced * 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed * 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth * 1/4 cup heavy cream * Salt and white pepper, to taste * 4 ounces smoked salmon * 1/4 cup chopped chives
Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until transparent and soft. Once transparent, add the beans and cook another 5 minutes.
Add the broth and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream. Remove from the heat and allow soup to come to room temperature. Then blend in a blender until smooth. If you like a smoother soup, strain this through a strainer. Check seasoning and adjust as necessary with salt and pepper.
To serve: Divide the soup among four small bowls (or two large ones). Top with 2-3 slices of the smoked salmon and garnish with the chives. Serve warm.
