Thai Salmon Soup Recipe

	Sosousme / All my dishes 1 month, 3 weeks ago This is a wonderful and deliciously different way to serve salmon. As a lover of Pho soups, I invented this recipe after having something similar at a restaurant in San Francisco that no longer exists :-( Prep:5m Cook:40m Servings:2	Sosousme

Ingredients

4 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken broth

2 cups water

1 stalk lemongrass, outer layer remove, thinly sliced

3 scallions, cut into 2 inch pieces

1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger root, thinly sliced

1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

1 can light coconut milk

1 teaspoon red or green curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen) or to taste

2 cups fresh spinach, torn

5 basil leaves, torn

4 ounces soba noodles, cooked according to package directions (soba noodles are made of buckwheat and are a very healthy grain)

2 (3 to 4 ounce) salmon fillets, all bones removed*

1 teaspoon sesame seed oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Combine the chicken broth, water, lemongrass, scallion, ginger root and jalapeno pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, simmer; covered, for 30 minutes. Shut off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour though a sieve into a container; return the broth to the pan. Add the coconut milk and curry paste (red if you want red curry, green if you want green curry); stir until the curry paste is dissolved. Taste, add more if you want it hotter, but LindySez, watch out, it'll sneak up on you. Stir in the spinach and basil.

Meanwhile, heat the broiler to high. Rub the salmon with the sesame oil and place under the broiler. Cook, without turning, about 5 minutes, you want the center to be slightly underdone as it will continue to cook when the broth is pour over.

In a large deep bowl, divide the soba noodles. Top with the salmon (remove the skin.) Ladle the soup over and serve with additional basil if desired.

LindySez: If you can't find salmon, or are not a fan of it, this can also be served with fresh shrimp, or even scallops. Or both. Add them to the soup and let simmer for just a few minutes to cook.
