Soups / Seafood Chowders
Mix 1 gallon cold milk and 1 gallon cold water with 2 packages RC Seafood Bisque Mix. Prepare according to package directions and set aside.
Peel and cut cucumbers, carrots, and celery into ½ inch pieces. Pulse in a food processor until just minced, being careful not to puree the vegetables.
In a small pot, heat olive oil and sauté chopped shallots for 3–4 minutes. Add minced vegetable mixture, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Add 12 oz. sherry and cook for 3–4 minutes.
Add 2 quarts water and 1¾ oz. RC Fish Base. Bring to a simmer, then combine with the prepared RC Seafood Bisque.
Dice fresh and smoked salmon into ¼ inch cubes. Add to simmering soup along with prepared RC Dill Sauce Mix. Cook until soup reaches 155°F. Stir in 4 Tbsp. fresh chopped dill just before serving.
Seafood Synergy: The combination of RC Seafood Bisque Mix and RC Fish Base creates an incredibly deep seafood foundation, while the RC Dill Sauce Mix acts as both a seasoning and thickener, perfectly complementing the fresh and smoked salmon duality.
Serving Ideas: Serve as an elegant starter soup for fine dining, or a rustic lunch bowl paired with crusty sourdough bread.
