Pat's Smoked Salmon Soup
This recipe comes from a book that was created for charity between all the churches in our town and surrounding towns. The lady that this recipe belongs to is a member at the Baptist church but all nominations gave there favourite recipes, I thought this one was a bit different. If you don't like wine in your food just replace it with stock the amount is 1/2 of a bottle.
