Clean and cut the leek, celery, onion and carrot
into julienne. Put the vegetables with the fish
stock and tomato puree in a soup kettle. Let it
boil for about twenty minutes.
Lower the heat and add the fresh salmon slices.
Season with pepper, salt and a pinch of
cayenne pepper.
When the salmon is cooked, blend the soup
and press it through a sieve. Make a roux of
butter and flour and add the bisque spoon by
spoon. The result should be a thick, fibre-free
soup. Mix cream and saffron and stir this into
the soup off the heat.
Chop smoked salmon. Fry croutons in olive oil.
Pick the watercress.
In the soup plate: a dash of Cognac, a dollop
of whipped cream, a few crunchy croutons,
shreds of smoked salmon and tufts of
watercress. Finish off with dried seaweed, if
available.
Serve the plates as in the picture and pour the
soup from a coffee pot at the table.
