Instructions

1 Use leftover roasted thin-skinned potatoes for this soup. If you don't have
leftovers, use this method. Wash the potatoes well and blot dry. Coat with olive
oil [https://amzn.to/3mAyLk3]. Roast uncovered at 425 degrees F for about 45
minutes, according to your oven and the size of the potatoes. Potatoes should be
just tender in the center when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool enough to
handle, then dice.
2 Cook the bacon until the desired crispness. Tip: I often will cook the bacon in
a pan on the stovetop until it is almost as crisp as I want, then transfer it to
an oven-proof plate between layers of paper towels. Bake at 300 degrees F until
it is as crisp as you like. The paper towels will absorb the extra bacon fat.
3 Heat bacon fat or olive oil [https://amzn.to/3mAyLk3] over medium heat. Add the
leeks and celery and stir for 5-6 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the
garlic and cook for about 1 more minute until fragrant. Pour in the broth and
bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced potatoes and herbs and
return to a simmer. Cook until the celery is tender, about 10 minutes.
4 Use stick blender to puree the soup to the chunkiness you desire. We like it
fairly smooth. (If you prefer your spinach chopped fairly fine, add it to the
soup before pureeing it.)
5 Stir in the spinach, corn, coconut milk [https://amzn.to/3GtbtkM], salt, pepper
and about 1 cup of the fish. Simmer about 10 minutes or until flavors have
blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
6 Ladle the soup into bowls.
7 Garnish with remaining salmon pieces, bacon and herbs.
