Soothing With Soup

Posted on December 14th, 2010 by California Olives

If you (or a loved one) is bitten by the bug (and let’s hope that doesn’t happen!), there’s simply nothing tastier than a bowl of soup. The feel of that warm broth coating your throat, while the steam wafts through your sinuses, is perfect for the snowiest and sniffliest of days. So stir up a bowl, slurp away and warn those germs, “You’re outta here fellas!”

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
  • 3 sticks Celery, chopped
  • 1 cup Yukon gold potatoes, chopped
  • 1 (14 1/2 oz.) cans Tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups Fish or chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 pounds Salmon, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3/4 cup California Black Ripe Olives
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons Dill, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add celery and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Drop in potatoes, tomatoes, and stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir in fish, California Ripe Olives, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 more minutes until potatoes and celery are tender and fish is cooked through. Serves 4.
