Instructions:
- Slice the leeks thinly, ensuring they are well-rinsed to remove any dirt.
- Chop the broccoli, including both the florets and stems, into small, even pieces.
- Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the chives.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly golden.
- Stir the chopped broccoli and bay leaf into the pot with the leeks.
- Cook for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the broccoli to start softening.
- Pour in the chicken soup and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is very tender.
- Remove the bay leaf from the pot.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
- Stir in the dried milk until it is fully dissolved and the soup is creamy and smooth. Reheat gently if necessary, but do not boil.
- Add the chopped smoked salmon to the soup, stirring gently. Allow the soup to heat through for about 3-5 minutes. The salmon should be warmed but not overcooked.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with a generous sprinkle of finely chopped chives.
- Serve the soup hot, paired with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly clean the leeks to remove any hidden dirt or sand before chopping.
- For a creamier texture, you can puree the soup using an immersion blender after adding the dried milk.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the dried milk with coconut milk or any plant-based milk.
- Smoked salmon can be quite salty, so taste the soup before adding any additional salt.
- Garnish with fresh chives and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors just before serving.
