Fish Chowder Sourdough Pot (featuring recipe for baby)

It was raining cats & dogs today. This was one of those time that I got inspired to prepare soup that warms everyone tummy and body.

I still have 2 mini sourdough that I baked last night & they are perfect as my soup bowl.

I chose salmon as my fish for this soup since it is my husband and my baby’s favourite fish. 

This recipe serves 4 + Baby 

Ingredients

1. 1 Carrot (cut in cubes)

2. 1 Potato (cut in cubes)

3. 6 Asparagus (clean & slice, leave the soft top green for baby)

4. 1/2 white onion (chopped)

5. 4 cups vegetable stock

6. 1 cup milk

7. 1 fresh Salmon filet

8. 1tbsp extra virgin oil

9. 1tbsp unbleached plain flour

10. Bay leaves

11. Fresh rosemary & thyme

12. 4 mini sourdough bread

Method

Prepared sourdough bowl

1. Use a sharp knife to make a well in the center of sourdough. Leave about 1 inch wall around the sourdough.

Be careful not to go too near the side and too deep or you may create holes at the side or bottom and we don’t want that.

Prepare the soup 

1. Add olive oil into a pot at medium heat. Fry the onion, carrots and potatoes for 5mins

3. Stir in plain flour. keep stirring until it is nicely combine and not lumpy

4. Add milk, follow by vegetable stock. Turn heat to high. Keep stirring and you will notice the soup is thickening up.

5. Add Asparagus and Stir until soup starts to boil

6. Add salmon and gentle stir. turn heat to medium low and cover lid

7. Cook for another 10 to 15mins  and the soup is ready.

Tips: daddies & mommies, for your soup, you may wish to add salt & pepper to taste. 

Tips when feeding baby: serve the soft top part of Asparagus to baby. The fish & vegetable should be soft. Mesh and mix well with the soup before serving the soup to baby who has no teeth.
