Ingredients
  

  • 1 large potato peeled and cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large carrot cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 5 medium fresh mushrooms halved
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 pound salmon fillet cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the potato, carrot, water, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the mushrooms to the saucepan, stirring to incorporate.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and evaporated milk until smooth. Gradually stir the mixture into the soup.
  • Bring the soup back to a gentle boil, cooking and stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the soup thickens.
  • Lower the heat to medium, then stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently add the salmon pieces. Let them cook, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Season the soup with pepper and salt to taste. Sprinkle the fresh dill on top before serving.
