Creamy Salmon Soup

A high protein, bariatric-friendly soup recipe that my friend B. Myers gave me. You can use finely chopped cooked salmon in place of the canned variety if you prefer.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter or 1  tablespoon margarine
• 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3  cups milk
• 1 (1 1/2ounce) envelope  onion soup mix
• 1 (16 ounce) can salmon
•  salt and pepper
•  chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Melt butter over medium low heat in a 2-quart saucepan; stir in flour.
2. In a separate saucepan, scald milk with 1 envelope of onion soup mix.
3. Gradually add milk to butter-flour mixture, stirring constantly over low heat.
4. Continue cooking and stirring until milk mixture has thickened. Pick over salmon, removing bones, then add salmon and liquid to thickened milk mixture.
