Recipe by Julesong

I'm a big fan of soups, and also wanted some succulent salmon for dinner. This soup nicely provided both, with great flavor and minimal preparation. This is my second recipe from the Pantry Challenge: I am making a dish from whatever I have at home already--those ingredients which are "just waiting around."
