CREAM OF SALMON SOUP
Guests always compliment me when they taste this rich and creamy salmon soup. For special occasions, I make puff pastry triangles for dipping into the soup, but you can serve it without them.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP II
I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Steps:
- Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Peel the zest away from the lemon in long strips, avoiding the white pith. Place the lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and heat until the oil just comes to a simmer, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit at room temperature while you prepare the soup.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the white and light green parts of the scallions (about 1/2 cup) and the garlic. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the French fries, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered until the potatoes soften and start to break apart in the broth, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, strain the rosemary and lemon strips from the oil. Juice the lemon and whisk into the strained oil. Season with salt and pepper. Brush some of the oil onto the halved baguette, place on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are fully softened, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. Season with additional salt if needed.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with some of the remaining rosemary-lemon oil and garnish with the dark scallion greens. Cut the baguette into smaller pieces and serve alongside the soup.

FRENCH MUSHROOM AND SCALLION SOUP
This is a wonderful soup with unusual ingredients--scallions and mushrooms! The soup has a delicate flavor, and once pureed, becomes thicker and more chowder-like. We loved this with crusty bread and some salmon on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large pot over moderate heat.
- Saute the scallions and garlic until tender but not too brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook 2 to 3 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Add the stock and mushrooms and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
- Simmer covered for 5 minutes.
- Puree in batches using an electric blender or food processor.
- (If you have one, an immersion blender is the best!) Strain, return to the pot and add the cream or half& half, salt, and pepper.
- Reheat and serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
- Serve with a crusty loaf of French bread and a glass of wine.
Tips:
- Use fresh scallions for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh scallions, you can substitute 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 tablespoon chopped chives.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallions. If you do, they will steam instead of sear and you won't get that nice caramelized flavor.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. The better the broth, the better the soup will be. You can also use vegetable broth if you prefer.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder until it reaches your desired flavor. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche for extra richness.
Conclusion:
Cream of scallion soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover scallions. With its creamy texture and mild onion flavor, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give cream of scallion soup a try.
